🎸 This week on Passion Projects, I sit down with the rising rock band Occasions — a group built on friendship, grit, and a genuine love for creating loud, emotional, unapologetic music.

In this episode, we dig into the band’s full origin story: how a group of friends with different influences found their sound, the moment they realized they wanted to take music seriously, and the creative chemistry that fuels everything they make. The guys open up about their writing process, the trial-and-error of early demos, and what it really takes to record and produce music as an independent band trying to stand out in today’s music world.

And of course, we get into the nostalgia of Guitar Hero 3, why that game influenced so many young musicians, and the hilarious twist that their lead guitarist can melt faces with a real guitar… but apparently can’t land a note on Guitar Hero to save his life. 🤘😂

If you love rock music, creative storytelling, or just listening to passionate people talk about what drives them, this is an episode you’ll connect with. This conversation is full of energy, humor, depth, and those behind-the-scenes moments every music fan loves.Thank you for supporting the show and for being a part of the Passion Projects community!!!
