This week on Emo Social Club, we're backstage at Chicago's House of Blues with Nate Young, drummer of Anberlin, for an exclusive Day in the Life episode! Nate gives us an intimate behind-the-scenes tour and opens up about the band's journey with new vocalist Matty Mullins after Stephen Christian stepped back from touring.Topics Discussed:
The challenges and creative process of rerecording "Never Take Friendship Personal" with a new singer
Why Matty Mullins (Memphis May Fire) was the perfect choice to continue Anberlin's legacy
Modernizing classic songs like "A Feel Good Drag" and "A Day Late" while respecting their origins
The band's upcoming new music and creative direction
Honest reflections on band dynamics and maintaining authenticity after 20+ yearsNate shares candid stories about touring life, the notorious House of Blues staircase, and how the band is navigating this new chapter while honoring their past. This conversation offers fans rare insights into Anberlin's evolution and creative process during this significant transition period.

The Emo Social Club welcomes Eric Nally to discuss Foxy Shazam's new album "Animality Opera" and their upcoming tour starting April 23rd. The vocalist shares insights on the band's DIY recording process in an underground studio and hints at some special surprises planned for the shows.Topics discussed:

• Why Eric has kept Cincinnati as his home base throughout his career
• Recording in the underground "Underland Studio" with unusual instruments and techniques
• The connection between "Animality Opera" and the band's early work
• Eric's philosophy on stage performance and creating memorable shows
• The upcoming tour featuring Number 12 Looks Like You and some mysterious surprises
• Creating new musical experiences vs. nostalgic anniversary tours
• How traveling and meeting different people influences Foxy's sound

In this episode, we sit down with Cody Hanson, drummer of the iconic rock band Hinder, to discuss: 🔥 The New Era:

• Their explosive new single "Bring Me Back to Life" and why they scrapped an entire album during the pandemic for being "inauthentic"
• How Hinder is evolving their sound—blending modern hard rock with their signature edge while avoiding nostalgia traps

🎸 20 Years of "Lips of an Angel":

• Reflecting on the legacy of their era-defining hit and what it means to celebrate its 20th anniversary
• The band’s journey from early-2000s success to maintaining relevance in today’s rock scene

🤘 Why Hinder is EMO (Yes, Really):

• The "divorced dad rock" label, genre-blurring with country influences, and why emo/punk fans now embrace their emotional lyrics
• Cody’s take on Nashville’s songwriting scene and collaborations with artists like Chad Kroeger (Nickelback)

🚀 What’s Next:

• Upcoming festival appearances (Louder Than Life, Aftershock) and why they’re done "replicating the past"
• The band’s mission to push boundaries without conforming to trends
