Welcome to EKA210! Today the two of us are talking news, rumors, festivals & lists! We discuss the recent news that My Chemical Romance will be spending 2027 working on a new record and when fans should expect to see that come out. Honestly, fall 2028 seems more than fair no? Along with this we discuss their recent run of shows at the Hollywood Bowl as well as our personal thoughts and expectations regarding Gerard's announcement.
Of course, we also talk Fall Out Boy and the big week of moves and teases they've been making. Is this all a big promo campaign for an anniversary release for Infinity On High? that seems like a lot of work to hock some merch, no? Amanda thinks the fellas are cooking up an album, and she breaks down why.
We also touch on Rolling Stone's recent list of the top 200 rock songs of the 21st century. Although we find the timing of their top 200 rather interesting, we now know how it feels to have people come at you over your list so we keep it fairly friendly LOL. Nah, we just make our own lists. Although if we're being honest, gotta admit they nailed it with Maps getting first.
Oh yeah, Robb got to see Equipment and Ogbert The Nerd so we talk about that a little too. Quippy gang or don't bang.

Welcome to EKA207! Today we are joined by Columbus OH based band You Have Beautiful Eyes for a dizzying 45 minute interview that will leave you with more questions than answers. The fellas and I talk about their EP, their origins, their fascination with Shakira, Dinosaurs, LMFAO (!?) and so much more. Seriously though, these dudes are awesome. I laughed the entire time I hope you have as much fun as I did.

Welcome to EKA205! Today we are joined by Jon Devoto, guitarist for the Oakland CA band The Matches. Full disclosure (as you'll clearly be able to tell) I am a rather big fan of The Matches. Maybe one of my 5 favorite bands of my formative years, so this was a special chance for me to ask questions as a fan AND a fake journalist. Jon talks about the recent run of shows, why we don't see them at more festivals, which album is his favorite, working with so many producers on Decomposer (Nick Hexum, Mark Hoppus, John Feldmann, etc) and so much more.
Along with band stuff, Jonathan was also kind enough to talk about his personal life. From his days as an overly hyper kid doing pushups, to his battle with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy plus his current work helping others in the same position. We also have some fun taking shots at that jabroni jerry seinfeld.
This was an incredibly special episode for me, on a personal level. I hope you enjoy, and many thanks to Jon for doing this.

Welcome to a special EKA203! Today we are celebrating and explaining the EKA 200! Our list of the top 200 emo albums of all time, as chosen by 139 people with different opinions on what emo is and what emo albums belong. In this episode we'll give you the backstory, the process, the math that went into scoring, as well as some peaks at the list. We'll even reveal the top 20 or so if that's alright?Again, please remember that music is subjective. I sent the form to over 300 people, and this list is the cumulative opinion of 136 of them (plus the 3 of us). The list is live now at http://emokidsanonymous.com!
Thank you to Phil from Rock For Initiative podcast for making the website presentation 5000000x better than I could have ever imagined, thank you to Josh from Aren't We Amphibians for creating the graphics, Hunter for inspiring the project and everyone who participated in this. Lastly, thank you to everyone who reads the list and has an opinion, good or bad. My greatest hope is that we all discover or rediscover a handful of classic albums.
