    112. Quartz Morrigan AKA Madison James of Ogbert The Nerd on New Jersey, Emo and New Jersey Emo | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA 112! Today I am joined by Quartz Morrigan aka Quincy Motorola aka Taylor Swift Band aka Madison James of Ogbert The Nerd, No Good With Secrets, Shutty and so many more projects and ventures. We talk about quite literally everything. From the very beginning when Madison was macking on premade meatwiches I knew this was gonna be a great time. We discuss DIY, emo and everything else. We get into New Jersey legends from Frank Iero to Bruce Springsteen to Jack Antanoff, plus we even get into some personal lore. Madison issues a rare apology to the lesbian community and nobody else (that includes you, stereogum). This felt less like an interview and more like a platonic first date with someone you should have been friends with for a decade already, as you can probably tell by the length of this one. Enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------- With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

    111. PONY: Tarot Cards, Collecting Trash and the Making of Clearly Cursed | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA 111! Today we are joined by Canadian duo PONY. Sam and Matty are a couple of good ol' Canadian kids with a serious AOTY contender dropping in a couple of days (Clearly Cursed out Feb 13 via Take This To Heart Records), and we were lucky enough to be joined by them to talk about everything under the northern sun. Detroit Pistons, Rick Campanelli, we covered it all. Sam told us the tale of the tarot card reader who warned her of a dark spirit she is carrying and how she deals with it (heavy, right?). They walked us through the writing process for the new record, including some surprises. Janet Jackson, Sheryl Crow. PONY know ball fr fr. Our PONY pals also explained the concept of the Canadian vocal flip that all of your favorite Canadian pop stars do. Avril, Alanis, Shania, even the Barenaked Ladies do it! Be sure to go check out their new album this Friday, seriously. If we did an EKA version of Oprah's book club, Clearly Cursed would be our pick of the month.

    110. LØLØ: Vans Warped Tour, Vocal Surgery and Entering Her Michelle Branch Era | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA110! Today we are joined by canadian pop punk princess LØLØ! With a string of shows on this summers Vans Warped Tour and a new album dropping in April, LØLØ had a lot to fill us in on. We talk canadian roots and TV shows, her growth as an artist and embracing the sad girl stuff. Much to the chagrin of her PR team I'm sure, we also discuss the grooming storylines from Canadian TV show Instant Star as well as whether or not anyone has ever cooked meth while listening to LØLØ. Of course, we also discussed her new album "God Forbid a Girl Spits Out Her Feelings", out April 17th. -------------------------------------------------- With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

    109. Daphne Loves Derby: Alt Press, Pure Volume and Pacific Northwest Emo | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA 109! Today we're joined by Jason Call of Daphne Loves Derby. If you grew up in the early 2000s and you were the 2000s equivalent of terminally online, you knew about Daphne Loves Derby. Formed in Kent, Washington by three pals, Daphne were the first band to ever hit a million plays on PureVolume. This led to them getting signed by Trevor Pryce of the Denver Broncos (WTF?) while they were still teenagers. Jason tells me the whole story plus why he left the band and what we can expect when it comes to a possible DLD reunion. Kenny and Stu are currently inactive in music but fellas, if you're reading this people do miss you! Along with all of that, we also talk about PNW emo from that era. Bands like Emery, Acceptance, This Providence, Forgive Durden and most notably, Gatsby's American Dream. We talk about what makes Casey Bates such an incredible producer, as well as regular old parent stuff that two dudes in their late 30's would discuss. Thanks for joining me Jason, you're a class act! ------------------------------------------------------------------ With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for all things emo and everything else.

    106. Walking Blue:Vans Warped Tour, Emo Origin Stories, Hypothetical Fist Fights & Florida | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA 106! Today I am joined by Walking Blue, a band out of Orlando Florida who you may recognize from the mainstage at the Orlando date of the 2025 Vans Warped Tour. If you didn't catch them there I'm sure they've popped up on your algorithm because these boys been putting in the work. We dive into the bands personal and collective emo origin stories, as well as the full story about how they won the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands and were chosen to play the Warped Tour. We discuss the differences between pop punk and emo, as well as who would win in a hypothetical fight between the four of them. Walking Blue are working on a new record and I am super excited to hear it. Jimmy, James, Sean and Luca were absolute sweethearts. Your moms (who are probably closer to my age) raised very nice young men!
