Emo Kids Anonymous Podcast

Welcome to EKA171! Today we're joined by Kris, Izzy and Ryan from Riley! THE MOTHERF*CKING BAND! (for the second time)! We caught them right as they got into Denver for the second show of their first ever headlining tour with Kerosene Heights and Bugsy. We talk about the differences in preparation between being a support act and the headliner, as well as what to expect on this tour, their recent Pure Noise signing, feet pics and so much more. With their new EP To Live And Die In The American South coming out this Friday, we dive deep into the making of the EP. From writing the songs and getting big features on them (Eric from Heart Attack Man, Tades from Hot Mulligan, Gabe from SAYP) to recording them with Phillip Odom (and getting that final touch from Will Yip), Riley! give us the full breakdown. It was an absolute treat having Riley! back on the show. Be sure to go check out their new EP To "Live And Die In The American South", out this Friday on Pure Noise Records.-------------------------------Thanks for watching, please subscribe to our show for more content!With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for emo and everything else.

Welcome to EKA169! Today we're joined by Heavy Metal Chess Club out of Philadelphia! Hot off the heels of their new album "I Think It'll Haunt Me Forever", the members of HMCC joined us for a deep dive on the album as well as a look into their personal and collective emo origins. I'll give you a hint: lots of Title Fight, Modern Baseball and The Hotelier. Along with this we discuss the bustling Philadelphia DIY scene, their favorites in the area, how they ended up on We're Trying Records and so much more. Are they emo? Are they power pop? pop punk? pop rock? HMCC don't know and they don't care.----------------------------Thanks for watching, please subscribe to our show for more content!With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for emo and everything else.

Welcome to EKA168! Today is a very special episode as we are joined by Elliott Brabant of Michael Cera Palin for a wide ranging interview that had Robb in tears from both laughter and sadness. Things kick off with a bang as we immediately start by talking about Combat and Freddie Got Fingered which of course leads to Ebert & Roper and then 9/11 and then things just keep on that path. We discuss the deer imagery across the songs and artwork, the hiatus, the return, the state of the scene today and their thoughts on the Sheryl Crow cover all these years later. At one point Amanda has technical issues and Elliott and Robb just nerd out over Emo, as Elliott shared their most controversial opinions on emo as we walked through each wave. This felt like a special episode, EKA at it's finest, if I can break the fourth wall and also gloat at the same time. Elliott was a real pleasure, we discuss how their mom supported their passion for music, the importance of queer spaces in music, plus so many of the bands we've had on this show. Aren't We Amphibians, Ogbert The Nerd, Kerosene Heights, Evan Weiss, Manor Gates (oops that's next week), Prince Daddy and so much more. Shoutout to Elliott for being an absolute treat to interview and a treasure trove of emo insight and wisdom. Complete with Sophie's Floorboard, Blogspot and Warped Tour Compilation CD references, this was a very fun interview that was all over the place in the best way.----------------------------Thanks for watching, please subscribe to our show for more content!With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for emo and everything else.

Welcome to EKA167! Today we're joined by the band Glen out of Lansing, Michigan. Originally they're from Clio, they went to high school together and now they run a venue out of their home. We've heard about this band in previous episodes with No Problemo!, Final Boss Fight, The Bald and Tequila Mockingbird so naturally we had to have the band on and they were uhh...NOT a disappointment. There was gaslighting, glizzy gobbling and so much more. We talk about their origins (they went to high school together in Clio, Michigan), the house of Glen (including the jouch) and Calvin Johnson (I think). This whole thing was a blur i dunno.--------------------------------------------Thanks for watching, please subscribe to our show for more content!With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for emo and everything else.

Welcome to EKA166! Today we are joined by Ace Enders and Jeff Kummer from seminal New Jersey emo band The Early November! Amanda and I have both been fans of this band for over 20 years so we were very excited for this interview and the guys did not disappoint. Truly class acts who made for an incredible conversation that covered everything from the early days of the band to their multi decades long friendship to this past weekend at Warped Tour in Washington DC. Ace has worked extensively with friend of the show and previous guest Gabe Woodrow so we chatted about Gabe as well as tons of other bands from Yellowcard to a drive thru records special emo gauntlet featuring everyone from NFG to SoCo to The Starting Line, Finch, Hellogoodbye, you name em! Plus, did we get the inside scoop and possibly name their seventh LP (#TEN7)? At times this conversation gets philosophical and at other times it's heavy and then it's all laughs. Truly one of our favorite interviews in show history, I'm not sure if I wish these guys were my best friends, my dads, or my senators, but either way wow what an absolute treat they were.

Welcome to EKA165! Today we are joined by Jus Rus, a singer/songwriter from Philly! Jus Rus is the solo project of Justin Russell. Justin and I have followed eachother on tiktok for a while and couldn't help that we basically had the exact same taste in music so once he had some new material to promote we had to have him on! We filmed this while Amanda and Catherine were in DC at Warped Tour so this is a classic solo dolo Robbisode. Justin and I talk about his musical influences and origins along with his journey so far as a musician. Along with this we talk Philly, Jersey, and all of our favorite bands from the area. The Gaslight Anthem, Jack Antanoff, Bruce Springsteen, The Menzingers, this was such a good time. Justin has been slowly releasing singles over the past couple months and honestly, we might be looking at a real underrated hidden gem here.

Welcome to EKA 164! Today we are joined by our most long distance guest in show history, Walwin! Walwin is a singer, songwriter, producer and overall just cool dude. Currently based in Melbourne by way of South London, Walwin was kind enough to join me early in the Aussie morning for one of the most fun conversations we've had on the show. We dive into what makes pro wrestling so special, its correlation with alternative music and how it influences are culture as well as Walwin's wrestling Mt. Rushmore. We discuss his upbringing and early music history, from first hearing Chad Kroeger & Josey Scott's song "Hero" on the Spiderman soundtrack to playing LA in the 2010s to the upcoming release of his next single Parasocial Princess (mixed by former guest Tom Denney). We discuss Oasis, The 1975 and the musical stylings of the one and only Jim Johnston. The day we recorded this interview, his song "Make Stacy Great Again" did not leave my brain so we discuss the meaning behind the track along with some of his previous work like Survivor Series '97.

Welcome to EKA163! Today we are joined by Evan Weiss of Into It. Over It., Pet Symmetry, The Progress and so many other projects. Evan has been a pivotal figure in emo for the last 15+ years so having him on was truly an honor.

We spend time talking about his production work with Pretty Bitter, sports., and a few other mystery bands that we can't mention here, but oh my LORDE we are going to be feasting in late 2026/early 2027. Evan is mentioned quite a bit in Andrew Sacher's upcoming book Emo Revival and with finishing the book and talking to Andrew on just a couple weeks ago, it was perfect timing to talk about his thoughts on the book as well as his thoughts on how the quotes made him look. We bring up Fest, as has been the case quite a bit lately, as well as how he balances each project.----------------------------Thanks for watching, please subscribe to our show for more content!With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for emo and everything else.

Welcome to EKA153! Today we are once again joined by Bryce and AJ of the band halftimeshow out of Joplin MO (among other places. As you know, the halftimeshow song Hero of Roku City is our shows theme song and the band has finally released the follow up, their first full length "soft spot". Unfortunately we had some technical difficulties come into play that took out about 30 minutes of this interview (I'm blaming Big Emo. Or honestly, it could have been Berkeley considering we lost the part where Bryce said he prefers Arden's version of the Pinhead EP...). Regardless, this was a great time and we implore you all to go check out their new record Soft Spot!---------------------------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for emo and everything else.

KTS are signed to Take This To Heart like so many previous guests (Palette Knife, T!IHI, PONY, Future Teens) so we knew we had to have them on!

We touch on how special KROQ was to Southern California (and just how far they've fallen off) as well as how the band found themselves making "midwest emo" after first planning on being a bit more of a blues band. Kiss The Scientist have a ton of exciting moves on the horizon, and it's going to be fun watching this band explode.

Of course, we touch on the new singles "Septum Ring" and "Donnie Darko Polo". The writing and recording, as well as if they'll be part of a larger project.

Welcome to EKA149! Today we're joined by Skiimo out of Denver Colorado! This interview was a long time comin'! Skiimo were originally supposed to be on in December of last year but had to cancel last minute. I was supposed to see Skiimo here in SoCal a few weeks later, but I wasn't able to make it. Finally, 6 months later we get a chance to meet. During this conversation with Bryson and Zack, we talk about the bands separate origins in the midwest, moving to Denver, and starting the band. These fellas keep busy. Late last year they released their first full length album Nothing Ever Changes and we talk all about the making of that as well as the two EPs they released before it (all in a 14 or so month span? sheesh). Skiimo share the story of getting Cory Castro from Free Throw's attention and how the opportunity to work together came to be. Also, we may or may not confirm Skiimo LP2 in this episode. It's a very revealing conversation and it was well worth the wait.But wait, there's more! Along with all of this we also dive into the Denver Broncos, their favorite I Think You Should Leave sketches, the time they got gaslit at the Whataburger and so much more!Go stream Skiimo today!--------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

Bruce Springsteen? Jack Antanoff? More importantly though, who are the greatest songwriters in EMO?!? Not just all time, but right now? Shane Sails? Low Blow Patsy? Isaiah from Leisure Hour?

Welcome to EKA 147! Today we are joined by not just one guest, but TWO as we have Gunk Lunk AND Dr. Dew. For the uninitiated, Gunk Lung is an Iowa emo band and Dr. Dew is a social media platform artist who creates a wide range of content but we share a mutual love for mountain dew. First up, Gunk Lunk gives us the rundown on the state of the band, the local DIY scene, their favorite Alkaline Trio records, and what we can expect from them going forward. Then at about the halfway mark we are joined by social media sensation Dr. Dew to discuss his life, career, content and obsession with Mountain Dew. Also, we do a Dew challenge with the doctor. Protein drinks, maple syrup, Dr Pepper, no ingredients are spared in this out of control edition of Emo Kids Anonymous (coincidentally the last solo episode I filmed before Amanda returned and righted the ship). Be sure to check out THE "HAPPY CAMPER" EP by Gunk Lung and be sure to follow Dr. Dew on Youtube for more Mtn Dew content plus a surprisingly wide array of historical analysis.-----------------------------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

If you've been following our show since the beginning, you remember Nish from one of our earliest episodes! Since then, Nish has been a near and dear friend of the show so when word got out about a new tenmo EP, we had to run it back! In this interview Nish and I dive into the state of the world, the state of diy emo, and the state of our own lives. Their new EP "Your Name Is My Ocean" comes out on May 15th and Nish and I dive into the evolution of the band from fate lines til now. Political unrest, financial instability, the world is an ugly place but the magic of tenmo is finding the beauty in the ugliness around us. Don't worry though, it's not all serious! We also yap about other bands in our scene, play a round of Chili's FMK, we even explore the recent workplace allegations against Tenmo Corp (Charlie consents to the cage).In all seriousness, this band and these people are very near and dear to our heart. We yearn for tenmo. My only regret from this intervew is that Amanda wasn't there. We love tenmonthsummer!-----------------------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

When Coop reached out to me about coming on the show I told her to email me and when I received the email I knew immediately they had to come on the show.

Welcome to EKA140! Today we are joined by Jose Prieto, aka MakeWar! I first heard Jose's music about a decade ago so when our friend Gary Cioni texted me to suggest bringing Jose on, I was immediately excited. Jose has a helluva story and we cover as much of it as we can in this hour long conversation. From his arrival in America from Venezuela to learning english through "Friends" to finding punk rock, we learn all about Jose's life leading into MakeWar and since. He tells us about meeting Brendan Kelly from The Lawrence Arms and winning him over with an acoustic set, signing with Fat Wreck, The new NOFX movie and tons more punk rock lore. We took Jose away from his scheduled Survivor night, so we made sure to touch on the show a little. Is MakeWar an emo band? Would a Rock Against Bush style compilation make a difference in 2026? Why is Fest the best fest? Jose tells us the answers to all of these questions and more!-------------------------------------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

Welcome to EKA139! Today we're joined by one of Michigan's finest, Potionseller. Austen and Andy were kind enough to join us to talk all about Buzzard, their new album dropping on May 15th courtesy of Brain Synthesizer. We discuss the journey they went through trying to find a label to put it out after their previous label folded. It's been a helluva wait for Buzzard to finally come out but it's nearly here. There was quite a few technical difficulties for nearly everyone in this episode so at times we lose people but that just leads to more dynamic conversation as we touch on everything from Kid Rock to Galaxy Gas to Coors Lights to Michigan Mt. Rushmore's. Be sure to check out Buzzard when it comes out or else you will be inflicted with the PSelly curse as well.

Welcome to EKA 138! Today we are joined by Kory Gregory of Prince Daddy & The Hyena for a wide ranging chit chat about their new album Hotwire Trip Switch and more. P Daddy has been one of the more requested bands in show history so it was a pleasure to have Kory join us. We discuss the differences between this record and Cosmic Thrill Seekers or I Thought You Didn't Like Leaving, the intentionality in the song writing, and if this is their best album yet (hint: yes). Kory talks about having to play the social media and press game and how it has changed over the last 10 years and whether or not he enjoys it. Also, Weezer comes up because of course they do. You won't believe Kory's Weezer hot takes! So brave, yet so true. This new record has been described by some (us) as "Fountains of Wayne on Amphetamines", while Kory says it is their attempt at a pop record. As of right now, Hotwire Trip Switch is our AOTY so it was a true pleasure getting to discuss it in detail. Look for P Daddy in your town this spring, as their tour starts in May!-------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

Welcome to EKA137! Today we are joined by Brian of Filth Is Eternal, a band based out of Seattle. Their new album Impossible World dropped last month, featuring cameos from a few well known names in the industry, including a gentleman named Joe Trohman! Obviously we discuss how Joe ended up playing on their new record, as well as debating Fall Out Boy's hardcore credibility. Along with this, we also talk about the Seattle DIY scene, the importance of the Vera Project, and the way the scene has changed over the last decade or so. As former DIY venue owners themselves, this was an interesting perspective on the inner workings of the DIY community and we were absolutely floored at the amount of work Brian and the band do to cultivate their community. Truly a blessing to that scene. Please go check out their new record, this is one of the heaviest bands to come on our show so it was a true honor to have Brian join us.

Welcome to EKA 136.5! A minisode where we examine the ties between the world shutting down and the recent resurgence in emo and emo adjacent music. After interviewing 80+ bands on this show, an overwhelming amount of them formed during covid. Some people baked sourdough some people made bands, I guess. From nostalgia acts to the litany of great young bands popping up over the past few years, it really does feel like 2020 was a bit of a calatyst. Don't get us wrong, still a net negative for the entire planet, but if there was one benefit to the pandemic it may have been the boost in creativity due to the free time?

Welcome to EKA134.5, a bite sized minisode from emo kids anonymous! Today we are joined by Catherine, our producer/showrunner/wrangler of Robb, in a special look at the person behind the curtain at EKA HQ. Catherine joined our team a few months ago, after already spending months working with me on tons of NAPNET LLC, EKA LLC, and Robb Laffoon LLC ventures. We figured our team needed to grow to keep up with us and what better person than someone we already both knew and trusted.

Welcome to EKA134! Today we are joined by Ryan Dominguez of Tokyo Rose! These New Jersey scene favorites of the 2000s went away in 2008 and recently came back with two new singles so we had to find out what the hell happened in the last 18 years. We discuss the glory days of the 2000s New Jersey scene. Bands like Midtown (hi Gabe!), Lifetime, Thursday, Saves The Day, we touch on all of them. We talk touring with the likes of Taking Back Sunday and Bayside, the end of the band, and what led to the rebirth (shoutout Emo Night Karaoke!). Along with this, we also touch on the differences between then and now when it comes to being in a band. Content creation, social media, etc. We’ve come a long way since Myspace! What’s the Mt Rushmore of New Jersey? What state has the best pizza? What is the true ti-state area? Who is the BEST band outta the area? All that and more as Mr. Tokyo Rose tells all in this salacious interview! (LOL)Tokyo Rose just dropped a new single, Ugly Comes Out, go stream it on your preferred streaming platform.

Welcome to another snack sized minisode of Emo Kids Anonymous! Today we are joined once again by Tori Town of Tori Town! 30 episodes ago Tori joined us to talk about her house show venue getting shut down by the Holyoke PD after successfully putting on 60+ shows. This led to Tori Town the venue closing but Tori Town the person kicked into full gear. By moving her diy festival Townfest from her house to a new location, she was able to keep it alive last month and possibly going forward. We talk about what's next. Possibly more shows? tapes? compilations? the skies are limitless or whatever they say. Along with all of this, Tori and I talk about some of our favorite bands in the scene like tenmonthsummer and Dear Cincinnati.________________________________________________________With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

Welcome to EKA133! Today we're joined by Ohio emo band Palette Knife! This week the Columbus band are dropping their third album Keyframe (April 10th on Take This To Heart Records, shoutout Joe!), and Alec, Aaron and Chris joined me to yap about the making of the record. Along with this, we also discussed their recent performance at XLNC Fest in Michigan, as well as some of our favorite bands and friends: T!IHI, Cheem, FinalBossFight, Kerosene (and Hawthorne) Heights, No Problemo!, plus the band they're touring with this spring, Stars Hollow! Billy Mannino is discussed, as always, plus they pick the next emo band up in the scene.Be sure to go stream Keyframe when it drops on Friday. I've had this album for a few weeks and it is absolutely incredible. Pound for pound, Take This To Heart might be the best label in the game right now. There's a reason we have on so many of their bands, they're all great. This isn't a paid spot, this is just facts. Great job Joe! And to the Palette Lifers, Wifers and Knifers, this record is your best work yet.______________________________________________________With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.
