109. Daphne Loves Derby: Alt Press, Pure Volume and Pacific Northwest Emo | Emo Kids Anonymous

Welcome to EKA 109! Today we're joined by Jason Call of Daphne Loves Derby. If you grew up in the early 2000s and you were the 2000s equivalent of terminally online, you knew about Daphne Loves Derby. Formed in Kent, Washington by three pals, Daphne were the first band to ever hit a million plays on PureVolume. This led to them getting signed by Trevor Pryce of the Denver Broncos (WTF?) while they were still teenagers. Jason tells me the whole story plus why he left the band and what we can expect when it comes to a possible DLD reunion. Kenny and Stu are currently inactive in music but fellas, if you're reading this people do miss you! Along with all of that, we also talk about PNW emo from that era. Bands like Emery, Acceptance, This Providence, Forgive Durden and most notably, Gatsby's American Dream. We talk about what makes Casey Bates such an incredible producer, as well as regular old parent stuff that two dudes in their late 30's would discuss. Thanks for joining me Jason, you're a class act!------------------------------------------------------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.
