| 5/4/26 | 141. Latchkey Kids: Philly & NJ Emo, Fall Out Boy, and the Making of Year of Summers | Emo Kids Anonymous | Welcome to EKA 141! Today we are joined by our friends Hanny, Cyle and Joey aka latchkey kids, a New Jersey band based in Philly. Join us as we explore the journey of the band Latchkey Kids, their influences, the creative process, and the making of their latest album 'Year of Summers'. We talk about Tom May from The Menzingers involvement in the record and how that relationship came to fruition, working with Kyle Pulley, and the greek mythology present throughout the lyrics. As usual, the conversation inevitably turns to Fall Out Boy for a bit as it tends to do around here! This new record is about as emo as emo gets if you ask us, so please take the time to go check it out. ---------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

| 5/1/26 | 140. MakeWar: Jose Prieto Talks Punk vs Emo, The Lawrence Arms, Survivor, Fat Wreck Chords, Friends & Fest | Emo Kids Anonymous | Welcome to EKA140! Today we are joined by Jose Prieto, aka MakeWar! I first heard Jose's music about a decade ago so when our friend Gary Cioni texted me to suggest bringing Jose on, I was immediately excited. Jose has a helluva story and we cover as much of it as we can in this hour long conversation. From his arrival in America from Venezuela to learning english through "Friends" to finding punk rock, we learn all about Jose's life leading into MakeWar and since. He tells us about meeting Brendan Kelly from The Lawrence Arms and winning him over with an acoustic set, signing with Fat Wreck, The new NOFX movie and tons more punk rock lore. We took Jose away from his scheduled Survivor night, so we made sure to touch on the show a little. Is MakeWar an emo band? Would a Rock Against Bush style compilation make a difference in 2026? Why is Fest the best fest? Jose tells us the answers to all of these questions and more!-------------------------------------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

| 4/29/26 | 139. Potionseller: Michigan DIY, The Making of Buzzard, Billy Mannino & Galaxy Gas | Emo Kids Anonymous | Welcome to EKA139! Today we're joined by one of Michigan's finest, Potionseller. Austen and Andy were kind enough to join us to talk all about Buzzard, their new album dropping on May 15th courtesy of Brain Synthesizer. We discuss the journey they went through trying to find a label to put it out after their previous label folded. It's been a helluva wait for Buzzard to finally come out but it's nearly here. There was quite a few technical difficulties for nearly everyone in this episode so at times we lose people but that just leads to more dynamic conversation as we touch on everything from Kid Rock to Galaxy Gas to Coors Lights to Michigan Mt. Rushmore's. Be sure to check out Buzzard when it comes out or else you will be inflicted with the PSelly curse as well. We're onto you, big emo.-------------------------------------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

| 4/24/26 | 138. Prince Daddy & The Hyena: Kory Talks Hotwire Trip Switch, Sabrina Carpenter, and Selling Out | Emo Kids Anonymous | Welcome to EKA 138! Today we are joined by Kory Gregory of Prince Daddy & The Hyena for a wide ranging chit chat about their new album Hotwire Trip Switch and more. P Daddy has been one of the more requested bands in show history so it was a pleasure to have Kory join us. We discuss the differences between this record and Cosmic Thrill Seekers or I Thought You Didn't Like Leaving, the intentionality in the song writing, and if this is their best album yet (hint: yes). Kory talks about having to play the social media and press game and how it has changed over the last 10 years and whether or not he enjoys it. Also, Weezer comes up because of course they do. You won't believe Kory's Weezer hot takes! So brave, yet so true. This new record has been described by some (us) as "Fountains of Wayne on Amphetamines", while Kory says it is their attempt at a pop record. As of right now, Hotwire Trip Switch is our AOTY so it was a true pleasure getting to discuss it in detail. Look for P Daddy in your town this spring, as their tour starts in May!-------------------With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

| 4/22/26 | 137. Filth Is Eternal: Brian McLelland Talks New Record, Joe Trohman and Jacuzzi's on Tour | Emo KIds Anonymous | Welcome to EKA137! Today we are joined by Brian of Filth Is Eternal, a band based out of Seattle. Their new album Impossible World dropped last month, featuring cameos from a few well known names in the industry, including a gentleman named Joe Trohman! Obviously we discuss how Joe ended up playing on their new record, as well as debating Fall Out Boy's hardcore credibility. Along with this, we also talk about the Seattle DIY scene, the importance of the Vera Project, and the way the scene has changed over the last decade or so. As former DIY venue owners themselves, this was an interesting perspective on the inner workings of the DIY community and we were absolutely floored at the amount of work Brian and the band do to cultivate their community. Truly a blessing to that scene. Please go check out their new record, this is one of the heaviest bands to come on our show so it was a true honor to have Brian join us.

| 4/21/26 | 136.5. Did Covid Cause The 2020's Emo Resurgence? | Emo Kids Anonymous | Welcome to EKA 136.5! A minisode where we examine the ties between the world shutting down and the recent resurgence in emo and emo adjacent music. After interviewing 80+ bands on this show, an overwhelming amount of them formed during covid. Some people baked sourdough some people made bands, I guess. From nostalgia acts to the litany of great young bands popping up over the past few years, it really does feel like 2020 was a bit of a calatyst. Don't get us wrong, still a net negative for the entire planet, but if there was one benefit to the pandemic it may have been the boost in creativity due to the free time?

| 4/8/26 | 133. Palette Knife: The Making of "Keyframe", XLNC Fest, FinalBossFight! and Cheem | Emo Kids Anonymous | Welcome to EKA133! Today we're joined by Ohio emo band Palette Knife! This week the Columbus band are dropping their third album Keyframe (April 10th on Take This To Heart Records, shoutout Joe!), and Alec, Aaron and Chris joined me to yap about the making of the record. Along with this, we also discussed their recent performance at XLNC Fest in Michigan, as well as some of our favorite bands and friends: T!IHI, Cheem, FinalBossFight, Kerosene (and Hawthorne) Heights, No Problemo!, plus the band they're touring with this spring, Stars Hollow! Billy Mannino is discussed, as always, plus they pick the next emo band up in the scene.Be sure to go stream Keyframe when it drops on Friday. I've had this album for a few weeks and it is absolutely incredible. Pound for pound, Take This To Heart might be the best label in the game right now. There's a reason we have on so many of their bands, they're all great. This isn't a paid spot, this is just facts. Great job Joe! And to the Palette Lifers, Wifers and Knifers, this record is your best work yet.______________________________________________________With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

| 3/27/26 | 129. Ikana: Jake Davis Talks Pop Punk, San Diego, California Burritos and...Creed? | Emo Kids Anonymous | Welcome to EKA129! Today we are joined by Jake Davis from the San Diego band Ikana! When I interviewed Jake, he was one day removed from playing a show with Jake Langley of Handguns (this was before Handguns pt 2 ) so we had lots to talk about. Ikana have been laying claim to the term Southwest Emo and in this wide ranging conversation Jake Davis makes a strong case for Ikana to be considered THE southwest emo band. We talk his norcal origins, the state of the San Diego scene today vs. when I was involved many moons ago, as well as our favorite local spots for shows and burritos. Also, we talk about Creed more than you'd think?Either way, Jake was a treat and Ikana are grinding away and I'm excited to see where the rest of 2026 takes them as they navigate writing, recording and releasing music as well as touring. Oh yeah, they do all this in house as well. True DIY spirit. Go listen to Ikana on your preferred streaming service and follow them on social media! @ikanaband_____________________________________________________________With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

The Guests, The Memories & What's Next for EKA | Emo Kids Anonymous | Welcome to EKA128.5, a minisode celebrating the one year anniversary of this program. One year, 128 episodes, countless interviews, silly sketches, memories and magic. When we started this show I don't think either of us would have dreamed of being where we are today and this minisode is a celebration of all we have accomplished in that time. From interviewing our favorite bands to getting to meet eachother in person, adding Catherine to our team, flying to LA for meetings with our boy Minardi and everything inbetween. If you're watching this, thank you. Never did we imagine we would have gotten to do so many cool things in the past year and so much of that is thanks to you, our viewers/listeners/friends/fans/parasocial bullies. Please let us know in the comments your favorite memories and/or guests in show history. Actually, let us know your least favorite too. And seriously, THANK YOU for being so cool. Wether you've been here for one year or one episode, we can't express how grateful we are and how insane it is to have anyone care about what we have to say. Without you, it would just be us. <3_______________________________________________With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

| 3/23/26 | 127. Capture This!: The Denver DIY Scene, Brendon Urie and Male-Backed Bands | Emo Kids Anonymous | Welcome to EKA127! Today we are joined by Capture This, a pop punk band based out of Denver, CO. A couple months ago we asked who we should have on the show and no band was tagged more than Capture This so we had to see what the fuss was all about. Leah, Zach and Alex were an absolute pleasure to have on and they walked us through the history of their band. From their Craigslist origins to recording at Bill Stevenson's Fort Collins studio The Boiler Room to working with Dan Swank, the story of Capture This is interesting as hell. We spoke about other Denver bands, including friends of the show Relate. as well as 3OH!3 of course. Also, LOLitslea, is that her name? I think we have to book her. Robb also apologized to the city of Denver for past misinformation. Capture This have a midwest run coming up and after that, they have a very bright future we're excited to see where they go.Check them out on the internet.With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.
