During the podcast we talk songwriting, overcoming performance anxiety, putting on shows, applying for funding, collaborating with other artists, teaching, touring, illness, aspirations and ambitions, the collapse of capitalism, among many other things.

Chad Earnest joins me (Rebecca Cullen) & offers his advice to upcoming bands & artists regarding graphic design & video creation. We also talk the future of rock music, Slipknot’s mighty return, the rise of hip hop & the infamous rap diss from MGK to Eminem.

Creating lyric videos as one more piece of consumable content for your band can give any single the push it needs to crest a billboard chart. Cee-Lo Green’s F**k You was given the boost it needed by a (cheaply constructed) lyric video put together at the last second by a professional marketing team using a free editor.

Everyone thinks about how cool it would be to shoot their music video in their favorite bar or club, and 9 times out of 10, they’re right. The only issue, from a corporate & legal standpoint, is that releases are 100% required from you if you ever want a deep pocket to fund the release.
