Music has an incredible ability to create an enhanced way to express complex issues, problems, and ideas. Those problems could be as small as having a bad day, or as big as being in a toxic relationship and struggling to get out. Those ideas could be as small as what should I do today, or as big as learning to handle your emotions properly.

With their first song out in 5 years, this punk rock band came back just as passionate as when they left. Not afraid to take on big topics and ideas, and express them in a way that helps the listener understand their role in that situation. So, who are they, and why should you take this seriously?

Shawna from the punk rock band War On Women joins the Chord Progression Podcast. The band recently released their first single in 5 years, "Precious Problem" and this episode we do what War On Women does. We get deep into discussion about:

- Intimate Partner Violence as the core story and theme behind "Precious Problem" as well as what we can do to help those in that situation, being the support system they need.

- The process of creating music & art, to help themselves and others process larger events and more complex emotions.

- Anger and aggression being positive emotions for change and growth, when we know how to harness and use them properly.

Punk rock saves lives, and this episode will help make that saying true. Tap the subscribe button to not miss out on more episodes like this.
