Interview: Chris Payne and NJ Emo

Chris Payne is the author of the book Where Are Your Boys Tonight? The Oral History of Emo's Mainstream Explosion - you will probably not be shocked to hear that this book is VERY heavy on New Jersey content. That being said, upon reading it I think you will be pleasantly surprised to see how much New Jersey was at the core of this massive explosion of underground to mainstream music. It was a joy to talk to Chris about his book, and specifically some of the bands, venues, and moments that tie this era of emo to the Garden State.  Hosted on Acast.
