How Calva Louise Beat the Odds & Made the Most Eclectic Rock Album of 2025 with "Edge of the Abyss"

Calva Louise is a complete enigma of a band that you will ever find. 3 band members from different corners of the globe somehow came together at the right time to achieve their dreams with their own style of music. Only problem is… it seemed like the world was against them.From living with nuns, couch surfing for years in London, working odd jobs just to get by, the world seemed to always say no to Calva Louise. But they never said no to themselves, always finding a way around every challenge in life. And with an expansive musical influence from all 3 members, they never said no to trying whatever they felt like in their music. And that is proving to be the makings of one of the most eclectic bands you will ever find.Jess, Alizon, and Ben from Calva Louise join the Chord Progression Podcast today.
