Great quality interviews with the artists that help build and define this punk sub genre. Witty commentary from both sides and some are deep dives into specific moments.
Please interview Jay Palumbo from Elliott.
Great guests & stories! Still waiting on an Aloha (Polyvinyl) episode! Keep it up, Tom!
Incredible guests, great conversations, and meaningful insights. Tom examines emo with the artists who gave the genre shape and those who are advancing it.
Thank you Mullen for keeping these unique bands in the public realm. I especially like 211 and John’s POV for all us kiddos growing up and wanting something different than what pop radio was playing. What he described was how I felt growing up in “the heartland” This Fightin Irish/ Christian fan is a fan of “weird” music that should be kept relevant now to appreciate the evolution of music history. Keep up the good work!
