How Poolside At The Flamingo Is Bringing Back the MySpace Days on New EP: Accabadora

The music industry, a microcosm of the world, has changed immensely over the past 20 years. From tastes, writing styles, technology to produce, everything has changed. And as music fans, we still love the sounds and styles from our favorite eras.

In grindcore, there is a band that is taking the old style of the MySpace days, understanding how to better write and record, to create a sound that takes you back to your heyday, and keeps you in the present as well.

Scotty and Danny from Poolside At the Flamingo join the Chord Progression Podcast right before the release of their new EP, Accabadora. Which is why we go deep in this episode on:

• How the band took their manic MySpace sound from their beginnings, updated it with modern technology, to create the perfect blend of erratic grindcore and soul-crushing breakdowns.
• Why the band changed their writing style from improvised in 2005 to more calculated in 2024.
• The energy around the local rock & metal scenes no longer being the same as it was in the MySpace days, and why that energy needs to make a comeback.

Let's get erratic and wild with this one. Hit Subscribe to the podcast in order to see every great band coming through.
