I first met Ben as we both came up in the music production scene of Victoria, BC, Canada, and was lucky enough to work with Ben many times.

Why Your Band Needs To Know About NFTs | With Jesse Cannon of Musformation
June 15, 2021 10:00 - 53 minutes - 36.5 MBWhen we heard Jesse Cannon saying that NFTs are the most important thing to happen to the music industry since Spotify, we got VERY curious. Marcus and I started doing some digging, figuring we had to find out what all the fuss was about - and let me tell you: we got confused.

If you score an opening spot for a big band you might think you've just gotten your big opportunity to hit the big leagues - but what you may not know is that it is just as easy to damage your career in the opening spot as it is to elevate it. There are unspoken (and sometimes unknown) rules that are important for you to know. Knowing ...
Why Spotify Isn't A Business Plan
May 25, 2021 10:00 - 28 minutes - 19.9 MBSpotify has become synonymous with marketing for bands and musicians around the world. The seemingly overnight success of a Spotify editorial playlist has led many to believe that their future as a full-time and successful musician relies on just that - the luck of being chosen by Spotify's algorithms. But, even if you did get lucky and wound up on a massive Spotify playlist - does that really mean you're going to be on your way to fame and glory? Listen in to this weeks episode of the Y...

Why The Sunk Cost Fallacy Is Misleading You
May 04, 2021 10:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MBEver gone to see a movie and within the first 15 minutes you can tell that it's going to be terrible? Let's just assume you said yes so that I can ask you the next question: did you leave, or stay and suffer through the terrible film? Most people probably decided to stick it out and get their moneys worth - which is ridiculous when you think of it, because the money is already spent. It makes no difference if they watch the movie or not. This is the infamous sunk cost fallacy, where we fe...
Dealing With Imposter Syndrome As An Artist
April 27, 2021 10:00 - 45 minutes - 31.4 MBImposter Syndrome is probably a term that you've heard before. And if you're like other musicians, it's probably also something you've experienced, even regularly. Unfortunately, we tend to care about what other people think of us, and that destructive train of thought usually also leads us to start comparing ourselves to others - which can cause us to start questioning our qualifications, abilities, and even our purpose on earth. In a nutshell, imposter syndrome can stop you in your tra...

Don't Follow The Leader
April 13, 2021 10:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MBWe often look to others for guidance when we are unsure of what to do next with our careers. How did 'that' band market their last release? What was 'that' singers last music video like? Eventually, without realizing it, we stop creating original ideas and start recycling them from our peers. And it seems rational! We perceive that the other musicians we are watching must know what they are doing! But stop and consider the fact that if you are lost, they probably are too. And there is ...

April 06, 2021 10:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBBeing a band isn't cheap. Recording, gear, marketing, touring - it can all take an enormous amount of money!

March 30, 2021 10:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MBWhen you're in a band you end up spending an incredible amount of time with your bandmates - often in an incredibly close proximity too. And, if your band is experiencing even modest success, the same can be said for your fans - they become a part of everyday life!

So with that in mind, we decided to make an episode on how to handle such a close proximity, and how to ...

Should You Be A Solo Artist, Or Start A Band?
January 19, 2021 11:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MBAs a music producer, I've come across this situation more than a few times: an artist is solely handling all writing, booking, managing, and financing their 'band'. My immediate reaction is usually something like, 'Why are you giving away a majority stake in your business to people who do nothing more than play your songs?'. It's an obviously crazy decision when you think about it that way. Take the scenario described above and apply it to a 4 piece band (which is a real scenario I've se...
Joining An Established Band | With Sean "The Noche" Marcy

Sean joined Band of Rascals a few years into our career, weeks before we got our management deal, and Marcus and I realized that his transition into the band might have been an interesting learning e...
Should Your Band Release New Music During A Pandemic?
January 05, 2021 11:00 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MBWhen the pandemic hit the music scene (if we are honest) died. And while some parts of the industry are still lifeless, it's not entirely dead either! For most, and not sure in the music industry, the gut instinct was to halt business, and more or less just freeze. Things can't get worse if we don't do anything right? Well, as we now know, this pandemic is lasting a lot longer than we thought it would have - making us have to reassess the question that has been on a lot of bands lips: "s...

December 15, 2020 11:00 - 51 minutes - 35.2 MBIf there is one thing I love, it's the unexpected results of making new connections.
