155. Andrew Sacher: Author, Editor & Historian Talks Fourth Wave Emo & His New Book "Emo Revival" | Emo Kids Anonymous

Welcome to EKA 155! Today we are joined by Andrew Sacher, senior editor and podcast host at Brooklyn Vegan, to talk about his upcoming book Emo Revival! When Andrew's book was announced I was hoping we'd be able to have him on to talk about this important period together. Along with a deep dive on the writing process of the book, Andrew also tells us WHY he wrote this book. We also talk about fifth wave emo, third wave emo, second wave emo and a liiiil bit of revolution summer too. Andrew was an absolute gem and his book is so incredibly written. It truly feels like getting in a time machine back to 2008 Philadelphia or Wilkes-Barre, in the most magical way.

153. halftimeshow: Bryce & AJ break down their debut album "Soft Spot" & AJ Challenges Ronnie Radke | Emo Kids Anonymous

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.

152. Kiss The Scientist: KROQ, Kylo Ren, Emo Origins & The Price of Pringles | Emo Kids Anonymous

Welcome to EKA152! Today We're joined by Max Tomack-Villalobos from the band Kiss The Scientist outta the 818! 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! Fresh off the heels of releasing a new single and their debut EP, Max was kind enough to tell us the bands history, his random Hoobastank connection, his favorite Adam Driver and Brendan Fraser movies and so much more! 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.
