Why Autumn Kings Takes Inspiration from Nickelback to Write the Catchiest Music They Can | Interview

When we see a band described as the offspring of Linkin Park and Fall Out Boy, we are easily going to be curious about what that sound is like, and where it came from.

What we found was a band that took their influences from rock, metal, hip hop, and pop, learning the hooks that make bands like Nickelback so popular, and found a creative sound that is ready to soar after already being feature on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Football Night in America.

Jake from Autumn Kings joins the Chord Progression Podcast today as we have one of the most insightful conversations you will ever hear around music creation from an emerging artist. That is why we dive deep into:

• Why Linkin Park was the most integral band influnecing so many artists today, and how Autumn Kings took that genre-blending focus their own way.
• How Nickelback writes such incredible hooks with the use of wordplay, and how Jake became obsessed with using that inspiration for Autumn Kings.
• A look into the newest single Hellbound, and why storytelling in art has become so much more important.
