Emo Kids Anonymous

Welcome to EKA197! Today we're joined by Joe & Craig from critically acclaimed nashville emo band dad hats! This band was recommended to me by our friend Scott's Records, and once I got my hands on their upcoming album wash. rinse. repeat., i knew we had to have them on. We talk about the bands journey, from their time together as 6th graders to today, all the way to today as they prep to release their third lp (shoutout mind over matter records!). Along with dad hats news, we also talk about Joe's work booking Jorts Fest as well as his advice for any prospective festival bookers. The first single from the new record drops next friday before the full length comes out on Oct 23 and believe me when I tell you that you're in for a treat with this one. A late game AOTY candidate. These fellas are a great time, highly highly recommend.

Welcome to EKA193! Today we're joined by blankstate. out of Charlotte, North Carolina! We've been meaning to have them on for a few months now, ever since I met Seth on the Let it Rip tour while he was drumming for Thoughts on Bowling, and we finally made it happen. Jacob, Faye and Seth were a great time and made for a great discussion as we covered everything from their early days as homeschool kids in a cover band to their new EP RITUAL. This band has a very unique story, having been together for nearly a decade while still not even being in their mid 20s. The bond is real with that kind of background, ya know? Also, we touch on Adjust The Sails and Leisure Hour and their fellow North Carolinians Kerosene Heights. Also, shoutout to Faye, the tech bro gods were NOOOOT cool to her throughout this process but she won in the end, inshallah. Go check out the new blankstate. ep RITUAL wherever you get your music.

Welcome to EKA191! Today we are joined by Colder Quicker out of South Florida! After the tragic loss of guitarist Xavier Guevara, Ben and Franco decided to end their band Curly Q before eventually forming Colder Quicker.

Along with this we also talk about the Florida scene and the stable of newer bands who are making noise in the state: Walking Blue, Dear Cincinnati, Anchor, Palova, there seems to be something in the water down in Florida and we investigate it as best we can.

Go check out their debut single "Can We Get High".
