    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.

    138. Prince Daddy & The Hyena: Kory Talks Hotwire Trip Switch, Sabrina Carpenter, and Selling Out | Emo Kids Anonymous

    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!

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.

    136.5. Did Covid Cause The 2020's Emo Resurgence? | Emo Kids Anonymous

    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?

    129. Ikana: Jake Davis Talks Pop Punk, San Diego, California Burritos and...Creed? | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA129! Today we are joined by Jake Davis from the San Diego band Ikana! When I interviewed Jake, he was one day removed from playing a show with Jake Langley of Handguns (this was before Handguns pt 2 ) so we had lots to talk about. Ikana have been laying claim to the term Southwest Emo and in this wide ranging conversation Jake Davis makes a strong case for Ikana to be considered THE southwest emo band. We talk his norcal origins, the state of the San Diego scene today vs. when I was involved many moons ago, as well as our favorite local spots for shows and burritos. Also, we talk about Creed more than you'd think?Either way, Jake was a treat and Ikana are grinding away and I'm excited to see where the rest of 2026 takes them as they navigate writing, recording and releasing music as well as touring. Oh yeah, they do all this in house as well. True DIY spirit.

If you're watching this, thank you. Never did we imagine we would have gotten to do so many cool things in the past year and so much of that is thanks to you, our viewers/listeners/friends/fans/parasocial bullies. Please let us know in the comments your favorite memories and/or guests in show history. Actually, let us know your least favorite too. And seriously, THANK YOU for being so cool. Wether you've been here for one year or one episode, we can't express how grateful we are and how insane it is to have anyone care about what we have to say.

    Welcome to EKA127! Today we are joined by Capture This, a pop punk band based out of Denver, CO. A couple months ago we asked who we should have on the show and no band was tagged more than Capture This so we had to see what the fuss was all about. Leah, Zach and Alex were an absolute pleasure to have on and they walked us through the history of their band. From their Craigslist origins to recording at Bill Stevenson's Fort Collins studio The Boiler Room to working with Dan Swank, the story of Capture This is interesting as hell. We spoke about other Denver bands, including friends of the show Relate. as well as 3OH!3 of course. Also, LOLitslea, is that her name? I think we have to book her. Robb also apologized to the city of Denver for past misinformation. Capture This have a midwest run coming up and after that, they have a very bright future we're excited to see where they go.Check them out on the internet.With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

    Handguns II: The Trial of Jake Langley, Uncensored & Uncut | Emo Kids Anonymous

    welcome to the interview I never thought would happen, nor wanted to. When we were joined by Handguns last fall we were expecting a routine interview with a veteran pop punk band. Instead, we were subjected to shenanigans, disrespect and downright unpalatable behavior at the hands of Handguns, most notably Jake Langley. "Never again" we vowed. Amanda was LIVID. Well, here we are six months later and I am sitting down in my living room one on one with Jake Langley to discuss the events that transpired during the worst interview of all time.This interview is unsanctioned, unauthorized and uncensored. Neither NAPNET nor EKA LLC endorse or approve of this interview. However, I am a believer in begging for forgiveness before asking for permission so here we are.Laffoon vs Langley. Round 2. Live and in person.Viewer discretion is advised._________________________________________________With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

    125. Mitchell Jay: Thoughts on Bowling, Vocal Coach of the (emo) Stars, Social Media Singing Sensation | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA 125! Today we are joined by Mitchell Jay aka Mitchell Kinn aka Mr. Yummy himself. When Berkeley from Thoughts on Bowling came on our show a few months ago and hinted at the identify of their new singer I went full tinfoil hat, so when they announced Mitchell as the new vocalist I knew we had to get him on the show to learn more. We dive into how he became the new frontman for one of emo's hottest new bands as well as the wild and weirdly theatrical road he took to get there. As a vocal coach who works with the singers of some of your favorite bands like Arm's Length and Hot Mulligan, Mitchell is an expert at the instrument that is the human voice and he was nice enough to give us a little lesson on how to sing like Patrick Stump. Straight up, this might have been Amanda's favorite moment on the show, it was magical. I'm very excited to see what the future holds for Thoughts on Bowling with Mitchell on the mic because if there performance at Burn Bright is any indication, they're about to hit a whole new level.

    Welcome to EKA124! Today we are joined by Cam, Gardner and Will from Primrose, an emo band from Maine (not to be confused with an emo band called The Maine, who they had a strong message for!). The fellas took us through the history of Primrose, from Cam and Gardner recording the record in their pandemic pod with two mics, to expanding the band, to recording Sad In The Northeast! We talk about The Office, Drinking Out of Cups, and what The Maine have to do to rightfully claim the state. Who is the president of emo? who fills up their cabinet?

    123. Tequila Mockingbird: Michigan DIY and The Making of LP1 | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA123! Today I am joined by Kieffer and Joe from Tequila Mockingbird and we are celebrating the release of their new album "You Always Felt Lost", available as of today March 13! I knew this was going to be a special episode before we started because these mfs have been raved about in multiple episodes. If a band is from Michigan and they've been on our show, chances are they not only know TM, but they've probably played a show at Kieffer's house, also known as The Goblin Zone. In this interview we talk all about the Goblin Zone as well as all of the other infamous house show venues in Michigan that we have heard about on the pod. From the Church of Elvis Presley to the HOG house, this interview left me wishing I lived in Michigan (never thought I'd say that). We also dive into the origins of the band, their current and past favorite bands, and the making of LP1. These two are some of my favorite guests in show history, I hope you appreciate this interview as much as I appreciated taking part in it.With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

    117. Cute Is What We Aim For According To Fred Cimato | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA 117! Today we are joined by Fred Cimato from 2000's emo scene stalwarts Cute Is What We Aim For. Fred has been making headlines this week thanks to a few tiktok videos but as we know, tiktok is no place for nuance so I thought it was only fair to give Fred the chance to expand on his statements but more importantly, tell his side of the story and control his narrative. Does he really think they were better than Paramore?Did John Feldmann ruin the band? Are the lyrics misogynistic? Is Shaant a dick? Can his past comments and behavior be atoned for? Does he want to? Will the fans ever get a CIWWAF reunion? We answer all of this and more.Fred walks us through the whole history and band lore. From high school hallways in Buffalo to forming the band and finding themselves getting signed by John Janick and Fueled By Ramen in a matter of months. After that it was a whirlwhind of success for a band that may have been too young to be able to handle the pressures and pitfalls that come with. Tours with Fall Out Boy, Warped Tours, MySpace success and so many breakups. "The Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch" was the fastest selling debut in FBR history and we talk about that era and what caused the breakup (sorry, John!). The story of Cute Is What We Aim For is worthy of it's own documentary and I hope I did a decent job cosplaying as journalist. Thank you for joining me Fred, it was a pleasure speaking with you! --------------------------------------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

    112. Quartz Morrigan AKA Madison James of Ogbert The Nerd on New Jersey, Emo and New Jersey Emo | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA 112! Today I am joined by Quartz Morrigan aka Quincy Motorola aka Taylor Swift Band aka Madison James of Ogbert The Nerd, No Good With Secrets, Shutty and so many more projects and ventures. We talk about quite literally everything. From the very beginning when Madison was macking on premade meatwiches I knew this was gonna be a great time. We discuss DIY, emo and everything else. We get into New Jersey legends from Frank Iero to Bruce Springsteen to Jack Antanoff, plus we even get into some personal lore. Madison issues a rare apology to the lesbian community and nobody else (that includes you, stereogum). This felt less like an interview and more like a platonic first date with someone you should have been friends with for a decade already, as you can probably tell by the length of this one. Enjoy!----------------------------------------------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

    111. PONY: Tarot Cards, Collecting Trash and the Making of Clearly Cursed | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA 111! Today we are joined by Canadian duo PONY. Sam and Matty are a couple of good ol' Canadian kids with a serious AOTY contender dropping in a couple of days (Clearly Cursed out Feb 13 via Take This To Heart Records), and we were lucky enough to be joined by them to talk about everything under the northern sun. Detroit Pistons, Rick Campanelli, we covered it all.Sam told us the tale of the tarot card reader who warned her of a dark spirit she is carrying and how she deals with it (heavy, right?). They walked us through the writing process for the new record, including some surprises. Janet Jackson, Sheryl Crow. PONY know ball fr fr. Our PONY pals also explained the concept of the Canadian vocal flip that all of your favorite Canadian pop stars do. Avril, Alanis, Shania, even the Barenaked Ladies do it! Be sure to go check out their new album this Friday, seriously. If we did an EKA version of Oprah's book club, Clearly Cursed would be our pick of the month.With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

    110. LØLØ: Vans Warped Tour, Vocal Surgery and Entering Her Michelle Branch Era | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA110! Today we are joined by canadian pop punk princess LØLØ! With a string of shows on this summers Vans Warped Tour and a new album dropping in April, LØLØ had a lot to fill us in on. We talk canadian roots and TV shows, her growth as an artist and embracing the sad girl stuff. Much to the chagrin of her PR team I'm sure, we also discuss the grooming storylines from Canadian TV show Instant Star as well as whether or not anyone has ever cooked meth while listening to LØLØ. Of course, we also discussed her new album "God Forbid a Girl Spits Out Her Feelings", out April 17th. --------------------------------------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

    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.
