It wasn’t too long ago that members of Fit For A King and Northlane, two of the more popular and successful bands in heavy music right now, took to Reddit recently to discuss the issues even popular bands have with staying afloat financially. With album sales paling in comparison with even a decade ago, musicians have been forced to get creative to gain momentum – taking side jobs and extra work to fuel their passion and career. It’s honestly very interesting and inspiring to see the lengths that musicians (and other creatives in general) will go to, to see their dreams become realized playing on a stage every night.
Fit For A King’s Ryan Kirby recently discussed this more in-depth in a recent Twitter post, reiterating that the music industry is still a goal worth pursuing. Strong words. Check out what he had to say below!
