Everyone knows that is is harder than ever to make it in the music industry as a band in 2025, and the likelihood of it getting any easier is rather grim for the future. With more music readily available on streaming platforms, and with making money in music becoming more difficult, there are less avenues artists can take for them to become successful.

We picked up with a band we had on the podcast in December of 2023 to see how they not only have grown over the past year and a half, but also provide the tools newer artsits need to use in order to gain success in the music industry come 2025 and beyond.

Canada's No Exceptions return to the Chord Progression Podcast today. With a brand new EP coming this summer and a spot on the Rock The Park festival in July opening for Bad Omens, we discover their growing success through:

- The importance of networking not only in your local scene, but also when you are around others in the music industry whether it is producers, roadies, other musicians, and promoters.

- How No Exceptions earned their opening spot for Rock The Park with Bad Omens & the importance of always bringing it in front of the fans.

- A rundown of the Kind Regards EP, from the construction and inspiration of all 4 songs, to what they mean to each member.

What an episode to be inspired to hit the subscribe button and get ready for more of these to come every Tuesday and Thursday.
