We all know the names of the bands that make it big, go on to have incredibly long and notable careers. Their stories are well known across the musical world. But for every successful band, there are way too many bands that never got there. And some of them, just keep trying.

They try to out of a love for the music, a love for being creative, and a desire to do something outside of the norm. Being able to relate to that and have hope in what you are doing in life connects with so many of us. This band is one of those bands.


Tim and David from the New Jersey hard rock band Rahway join the Chord Progression Podcast, after their self-titled album dropped back in July. Join us as we talk about:


- Not making it to the top level to the musical world for one reason or another, but connecting with other people to love every moment of the journey that they have been on.


- An appreciation for what Sevendust has done as a band, and why their level of success might never be truly understood or matched.


- The music of Rahway, and why being more riff-driven in what they do, allows them to bring out that genuine emotion and love every time.
