    119. Surrender The Ghost: Hilary Duff, DIY Emo and Ohio | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA 119! Today we're joined by Matthew Ellis and Ricky Gonzalez from the Ohio emo band Surrender The Ghost! From DIY to Deshaun Watson to Warped Tour to 2000's emo, this one has a little bit of everything for you. Hawthorne Heights, Palette Knife, Brandtson, we cover a lot of eras of emo, plus there is even a Mike Gundy moment! Are you surprised Hilary Duff is playing such large venues too, or are we old out of touch middle aged men? Don't worry, we cover that as well, hence the Mike Gundy mention. These guys were great fun. They said they would bring the energy like Handguns and although they aren't quite in the Langley league, they were still a pretty good time! ____________________________________________________________ With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

    117. Cute Is What We Aim For According To Fred Cimato | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA 117! Today we are joined by Fred Cimato from 2000's emo scene stalwarts Cute Is What We Aim For. Fred has been making headlines this week thanks to a few tiktok videos but as we know, tiktok is no place for nuance so I thought it was only fair to give Fred the chance to expand on his statements but more importantly, tell his side of the story and control his narrative. Does he really think they were better than Paramore?Did John Feldmann ruin the band? Are the lyrics misogynistic? Is Shaant a dick? Can his past comments and behavior be atoned for? Does he want to? Will the fans ever get a CIWWAF reunion? We answer all of this and more. Fred walks us through the whole history and band lore. From high school hallways in Buffalo to forming the band and finding themselves getting signed by John Janick and Fueled By Ramen in a matter of months. After that it was a whirlwhind of success for a band that may have been too young to be able to handle the pressures and pitfalls that come with. Tours with Fall Out Boy, Warped Tours, MySpace success and so many breakups. "The Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch" was the fastest selling debut in FBR history and we talk about that era and what caused the breakup (sorry, John!). The story of Cute Is What We Aim For is worthy of it's own documentary and I hope I did a decent job cosplaying as journalist. Thank you for joining me Fred, it was a pleasure speaking with you! -------------------------------------------------- With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.
