Hayley Williams quitting social media? + Is the album dead? + MORE
Good morning! It’s Sunday. We’re a day late on this one. But better late than never!
Let’s get to it.
Is the album dead? Probably, yes.
On this week's episode of The All Punked Up Podcast, Bailey and Tyler ask and answer the question: Is the album dead? With album sales, physical and digital, at an all-time low, what does that mean for the album as a whole? The crew also discuss ways artists can increase their chances of being discovered and how to take advantage of the tools available to them to help them succeed.
Before discussing the above news, Bailey and Tyler share their thoughts on the new Angels & Airwaves album and covers from State Champs and CHVRCHES.
