Welcome to EKA 148! Today we are joined by Efrain, Jesus and Robert of Rio Grande Valley emo band Upon Your Dead Body! Originally started as a solo project by Efrain, the band eventually evolved to be a collaborative effort and we talk about every step along the way. We discuss Tex Mex vs SoCal mexican food, different eras of emo and their evolution along with it, and so much more. Is UYDB kinda lowkey a lil erotic with their songs? Horny emo they might say? We dive into this. Also, Efrain cuts the promo of a lifetime on our friend Shane Hurst from Adjust The Sails. You can catch UYDB on tour this summer! -------------------------------------- With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

147. Gunk Lung and Dr Dew: Alkaline Trio, Iowa, DIY Emo and Doing The Dew | Emo Kids Anonymous

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.
