Welcome to EKA171! Today we're joined by Kris, Izzy and Ryan from Riley! THE MOTHERF*CKING BAND! (for the second time)!

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.

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?

168. Michael Cera Palin: Elliott talks Emo, Atlanta & The Link Between Freddy Got Fingered & 9/11 | Emo Kids Anonymous

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!

167. Glen: Hog House, Hut Dug Horror Stories and Michigan DIY | Emo Kids Anonymous

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!
