EPISODE 62 | How's Emo?

Texas-sized episode. Record Setter guests on the episode to talk about their discography, Denton, Two Knights, Topshelf Records, deathcore, Myspace songs, and some new emo happenings.

Big show. Brandon, front person of emo's latest breakout act Home Is Where, joins us to talk about the band's origin, their success, their misconceptions, their future, and Bob Dylan. As CEO of 5th Wave Emo, Brandon also explains 5th wave emo while Ellie paints the picture for the 9 Waves of Emo. 

Ellie survived the Texas apocalypse and Kyle survived his twenties. How's emo? We talk about Q1 of 2021 for emo and the culture. We then dip into our mailbag to talk about music criticism and emo content creators. Already got another episode OTW! 

Pardon the absence. We're back. 2021 begins with Camp Trash on the show. We talk their ascent from Twitter from CYLS and Florida's emo clout. The main chunk of the episode is previewing 2021 for emo and beyond. We talk about our most anticipated albums, our emo hopes and predictions, and our resolutions. There is a leaked Camp Trash track at the end of the show. 

3 years down the drain. To celebrate, we brought back the concept of Episode 0 to play "Is This Band Emo" with emo writers and friends of the pod Ian Cohen, David Anthony and Eric Grubbs. A very appropriate culmination of how far we've gotten in the 3 years of The E Word and showing how far we've come to understand emo. Thanks for sticking with us for so long.

Hayden and Damian from For Your Health finally get on the pod to detail their debut LP, give us the crash-course history of FYH, talk Twitter and more. We dedicate some pod time to react to the election. We end by talking about Title Fight and MCR. "In Spite Of" is out February 12 on Twelve Gauge Records. 

Episode 58 | JUGGALO ALLYwith Welp it's 2 am and i'm listening to cap'n jazz againJenkin, who runs Facebook's best emo page, Welp it's 2 am, joins us to give us the greatest hits of making fun of your favorite band on the internet. We wrap up by talking about some topics like Attack Attack! and newsletters.

Vinny (guitar and vox) and Robby (manager) from Oolong hop on the pod. We get an intimate look into Oolong's short history before talking about the latest mind-numbing DIY tantrums (cover comps! youtubers! DIY2!) and emo news (They're/There/Their, Seahaven, Joan of Arc.)

With very little on the agenda, podcast superstar Tim Crisp (Better Yet, As You Were, Road to Skeleton Coast, Life’s Work) joins us to talk political doom, his relationship with emo + DIY, podcast longevity, music industry facades, and lots more. 

6 mics on the pod! We are joined by Aidan from Jail Socks and all of Guitar Fight From Fooly Cooly. We chop through the happenings in DIY and hardcore since we went on our summer hiatus. Plus lots of talk on what bands are doing in COVID times.
