Chord Progression

Our friends from Del Rio, TX in the band Expecting Perfection return to the Chord Progression podcast for the 2nd time to discuss their debut EP, Dog Days, releasing on February 26th.

It's all about life and how people that may scoff at you now will be the people clinging to your success later in life.   Find Expecting Perfection Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ExpectingPerfection/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ExPerfection5 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/expecting_perfection/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4nL8nT3741q-NxfhYV5Yew Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5FKOdzvPmIM77MfTNQcDuO?si=vLo__fpvSIO0EbA8yANocQ Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/expecting-perfection/1453449087   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/msotdrocks   Twitter: http
