Back to Episodes# 26 - Kougaran talks AI, Metro Detroit Music Scene, and Record Deal Controversies
Description
Episode 26 of Good Times, Noodle Salad brings Matt, Niko, and Steven from the Metro Detroit metal band Kougaran into the studio — three-fourths of the lineup and 100% of the chaos.
The crew dives into everything from AI and creativity, to what it’s like navigating the music industry in the age of the internet, to how the Metro Detroit music scene has evolved over the last 20 years. From basement shows and MySpace-era hype to TikTok discovery and digital distribution, it’s a full spectrum conversation about art, culture, and how bands survive and thrive in 2026.
If you’re into music, metal, local scenes, or just listening to passionate people talk about their craft, this one hits all the angles.
Good times, noodle salad, and a little distortion.
