EPISODE 20 is here to crank the volume on Denver's own emo embodiment – Buddy Bench! ??

Get ready to ride the sonic waves with Christian Comeaux, the creative force behind the Denver Emo band that's got us all ears. Today, we're diving into the heart of Buddy Bench and their latest hit, "Amoxicillin," a track that's been looping in our heads all day. Christian spills the beans on their origin story, a high school band that never really left their system, and how he and Joey, the dynamic duo, are redefining the emo scene with their two-piece setup.

We unravel the tale behind the name Buddy Bench – a symbol of connection and community found in the most unexpected of places – playgrounds. It's a conversation that explores the power of simplicity, the joy of alliteration, and the middle-of-the-night epiphanies that give birth to great ideas.

Christian and Joey's journey is a testament to the intimate and vibrant Denver scene, where everyone's a friend and music is the glue that binds them. From parking lot shows to the dream of adding a bass player, Buddy Bench is all about the raw, unfiltered fun of creating music.

We also get a peek into their influences, from the noodly riffs of Tiny Moving Parts to the indie vibes of Silversun Pickups, and how these sounds shape the DNA of Buddy Bench. Plus, a nod to the JRPGs that might just be the secret ingredient in the emo recipe.

As we look ahead, Buddy Bench is gearing up to drop an EP in April, with "Amoxicillin" and "Venus" as the irresistible appetizers to a feast of three more tracks. It's all about playing shows, tearing it up, and soaking in the sheer delight of being part of the music community.

Are you ready to find your place on the Buddy Bench and join the emo revival? Tune in and let Christian's passion for music and community sweep you off your feet. This is more than just a band; it's a movement of togetherness and tunes.

Here's the jam that's got us all hooked. Press play and let it wash over you:
