When bands create songs with features, most of the time the features are isolated in the second verse or the bridge, and don't always blend as well as they could.

But the philosophy of using a feature as a way to marry the sounds of 2 different bands into one, creating something truly unique.

It is our pleasure to bring Telle Smith of The Word Alive to the Chord Progression Podcast today. In this episode, we dive into:

- How The Word Alive created songs with features as if both bands were coming together and having a sound baby, with features from Bad Omens, Escape the Fate, and From First to Last.

- The reception of a newer songwriting mindset that was presented on the band's newest album Hard Reset.

- How Telle's songwriting influence has changed over the years, from being influence by those around him, now into her personal experiences.

This one was an episode we have been waiting to present to you with many more to come. Hit that subscribe button to not miss out.
