This week Andrew Sacher (editor at BrooklynVegan and host of their BV Weekly podcast) peeked into the TTYG hole and extolled the virtues of The Menzingers' On the Impossible Past. We also got a sneak peek at Andrew's upcoming book Emo Revival: Community, DIY, and Rebirth in Post-Hardcore and Emo (spoilers: Foxing mentioned).
Also up for emo-scussion (that's discussion by Carly Rae Jepsen): A furtive review of what nostalgia feels like per Carl Jung, the world's worst Pokémon analogy is deployed and every single emo-adjacent band is named along with the year of their albums and a horoscope of their fates.
Bands referenced in this episode include: Paramore, Foxing (a lot) Modern Baseball, Algernon Cadwallader, Hop Along, Joyce Manor, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Panic! At the Disco, and basically every other emo band 2008-2018. Also Jawbreaker.
You can find BV weekly here or wherever else podcasts are found. You can also preorder Emo Revival here on Amazon or your local bookstore. I would've done the hotter and more ethical thing by linking back to the publisher at Clash Books, but their copies are SOLD OUT so you know its gonna be a hit.
