Second Harbour Breaks Down New EP "Coalesce:" Sharptone's New Post-Hardcore Band

For artists that started during the age of streaming, where singles dominate music release, consumption, and pleasing streaming algorithms, how is a band supposed to show growth and expansion of sound over time? The single shows a track, but an album or an EP can show focus, growth, and give room for an artist to experiment. So how do they walk the fine line of how music is consumed today, and showing more of what they can do?Well today you are in luck. That is because we have a band that Sharptone records believes showed enough promise with the singles that they started releasing back in 2020 to sign, as well as put faith in to show a greater expansion to their post-hardcore sound with their next release. And what better way to discover them than right here.Xavier and Vincent from the Canadian post-hardcore band Second Harbour join the Chord Progression Podcast today. Their debut EP & first release on Sharptone Records, Coalesce, releases on December 12th. Discover the band with us as we talk about:- Why the album and EP is still an important release for an artists to package an amalgamation of sound and range in their music, compared to releasing singles to maximize streaming numbers.- How artists need to ride the fine line of music experimentation and sound expectation in order to create the best music for themselves.- The importance of taking a swing in your music, proven by the odd pattern on "Mourning Dove," and the focus on making every song a deep cut for greater depth of listenability.This is an interesting one to say the least, with another great band that Sharptone believes in.
