About this episode

Keith Latinen discusses his music career and the emo genre.

Keith Latinen from Count Your Lucky Stars, Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate), Mt. Oriander, and Parting is finally on the show. We had a chance to reconnect at Best Friends Forever 2026 and reconnect again for the pod to talk about his bands, his career, and life up to this point in the world of emo. Keith has never shied away from the word and always was championing bands that slipped through the cracks for many as this genre continues to gain popularity.
