Episode 247: VRSTY Returns

Joey Varela from VRSTY is back on the Chord Progression Podcast once again. The band is releasing their debut LP, Welcome Home, on January 21st, 2022. And we go deep into the album looking at Joey's favorite tracks, the surprises on the album, the deep connection to the song 11 AM, and how the whole album was written. We discuss how Joey is the hardest working man in rock & metal, and sum up Welcome Home for everyone.

 

Please not that this episode was recorded when the original release date of November 19th 2021 was still the target date. The album has been pushed back due to shipping delays from the global supply chain issue, and other things according to Joey. But the episode was too good to hold on to.
