If Not For Me: The Next Breakout Band in Metalcore?

When a band jumps from record label to record label, the typical stereotype is not the best for the band. But what about a band that graduates from small developmental label, to a larger developmental label, to a major label, in under 3 years? That is success that needs to be noticed.

Couple that with a brand new album, an evolving sound around their core roots, and the will and tenacity to try and become the next breakout band following in the footsteps of Spiritbox, Bad Omens, and Sleep Token, and you have an emerging powerhouse on your hands.

Patrick and Hayden from the metalcore band If Not For Me rejoin the Chord Progression Podcast for the 3rd time, right before the release of their second album, Everything You Wanted. On this episode, we go deep into

The growth of If Not For Me starting with a small developmental label to signing with Thriller Records in the span of only a few years.How Everything You Wanted is connecting with fans through its central meaning of reflection and refusing to be taken advantage of by other people ever again.Why the band cowrote with many others for this album, to discover their core sound, and further experiment with what makes them special.

A great band, backed by a great label, and one you do not want to miss out on. Tap the subscribe button to not miss out on any future bands and artists you need to hear.
