149. Skiimo: Working with Cory Castro, Denver DIY and I Think You Should Leave | Emo Kids Anonymous

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!

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.
