Our first guest in the Richmond Series highlighting the Emo scene in Richmond, Virginia during the 2000s is... Drew Vanlandingham! Drew fronted the beloved emo act A Suffocating Signal, and we dive into the origin story, songwriting, playing vulnerable songs in a hardcore city, and what other bands in that time period made the scene so special. He is currently playing guitar in the hardcore band Contact, so check out their new music and follow them on socials! @contacthardcore contacthardcore We're also on instagram!
