Point Taken: Navigating the Chaos of a 7-Piece Band and "Sitcom Rock"
About this episode
The episode features an interview with the band Point Taken, discussing their unique sound and songwriting process.
In this episode of Two Beers With The Band, I’m joined by Noah (lead vocals/guitar) and Colin (lead guitar) of the Nashville-based independent band Point Taken. We kicked things off by sampling Golden Monkey, a Belgian-style Tripel from Victory Brewing Company. At a potent 9.5% ABV, this beer features subtle notes of banana, nutmeg, and baking spice, making it a surprisingly "dangerous" easy-drinker that certainly helped loosen us up for the conversation . Point Taken isn't your average rock band; they are a seven-piece powerhouse featuring a full horn line that replaces traditional keys or synths . We dive into their eclectic sound, which has been described as everything from "perfect sitcom rock" to "ska shoegaze," blending influences ranging from Van Halen and Led Zeppelin to Slipknot and Buddy Guy . The guys share how they manage a democratic songwriting process with seven members, the technical divide between old-school tube amps and modern digital modelers, and their ultimate goal: making music their full-time life .
