Generation Underground Returns with New Album: Why “Our Shattered Lives” Was Worth the 3-Year Wait

The great saying "good things come to those who wait" has stood the test of time for one main reason... because it is true. And in music, not only do good things come to those who wait, but good things come to those who work their ass off to win in an insanely competitive space.We have seen this band on the podcast before, and the last time was 3 years ago, when they were close to finishing their latest album. 3 years later, that album has finally released. And now, that album has finally released. Good things come to those who wait, because this release has been their best yet.The guys from Generation Underground return to the podcast for the first time since early 2022. With the band's latest album, Our Shattered Lives, finally releasing, it is time to see how this has all played out. Today we talk about:- Why it took Generation Underground 3 years to release "Our Shattered Lives" and answer the question, "Was it worth the wait?"- The album as a whole with a look into it, including the reception they have received with more online streams, and charting on radio.- What Ticketmaster has done to the music industry by saying "concerts are priced too low," how that impacts both fans and artists, and why we need to take it on as a collective.Glad to finally catch up with Generation Underground.
