Is there a word for when a band progresses quickly?
I originally used the phrase "from strength to strength" however my tutor explained that this is an empty phrase and I should think of a better term? So something along those lines but put simply.

sorry That question is far too vague, a band gets a lot better, gets famous overnight?

Welcome to ELU. Can you say how quickly the band progresses? If it's very, very quick, you could say they "went viral". Or, if it's single words you'd like you use, Cambridge Dictionary has a nice word cloud for inspiration. FWIW, "go from strength to strength" is particularly common when talking about bands who are consistently popular for many years.
