The Chariot Interview on Ryan’s Rock Show

Given the current state of the music industry, it’s often hard to know if a band creates art, or if they’re a manufactured product designed to sell. Half of the time at shows, it’s hard to tell if a band is playing for real, or if they’re playing to pre-recorded tracks. The Chariot vocalist Josh Scogin agrees.

“He could totally drop dead right now and the music would go on, literally.”I invited The Chariot over for an afternoon chat to discuss art & music, the industry, and the younger generation of bands.
