Everyone loves a good comeback story. Whether it is sports, entertainment, or music (like we are into), we all want to see our favorites return and continue to provide us with the moments and memories that made us fall in love with them in the first place. But if there is a comeback happening after 17 years, how should that be done?
A full reunion tour? A brand new album to show the what people have missed out on in those 17 years? Rerecording their most famous album as a way to remind friends "we are back"? Well, in 2026, there is a new way that it has to be done... the live album of that famous album.
Joe, Dan, and Kyler from the post-hardcore band A Static Lullaby join the Chord Progression Podcast as they are back after 17 years. With their live album return of their most famous album "...And Don't Forget to Breathe" now out, we dive into the band's return as we talk about:
- Why A Static Lullaby decided to return with a live version of "...And Don't Forget to Breathe" compared to brand new music or a rerecording of the album, to not tarnish the legacy of the original.
- Fighting labels and other entities to get their music back, from groups buying the rights to their music and selling physical copies back to the band at a higher margin.
- A teaser of the brand new music that A Static Lullaby is going to be releasing, bridging the gap from their last album in 2009 to what they would be creating today, had they never stopped.
A great conversation to understand the comeback story of a great post-hardcore band. Tap the subscribe button to not miss out on more like this.
