Emo Dad Podcast

Season 11 Episode 5: MCR v DCC (Feat. Like Roses, Buried in Spring and more) Matt and James sit down to once again chat utter rubbish for an hour. We discuss the ‘exciting’ war that has erupted in the most unusual of circumstances, between My Chemical Romance and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, something none of us had on our bingo card for 2026. We finally give everyone the No Safe Haven updated that no one asked for, and James discovers he wrote some songs with zero memory of it ever happening! We talk about the new Like Roses album and our trip to see Father of Peace in London. All this and more. All this and much more.

Season 11 Episode 4: Expert advice for bands (Feat. Grandson, Wolves of Glendale, Father of Peace and more) Matt and James sit down for one of their classic nonsense episodes. James brings back the stings which make us laugh way more than they should do, we discuss comedy band Wolves of Glendale, and Matt offers some actually HELPFUL expert advice to bands who want to promote themselves properly. We also discuss the popularity of rap rock lad; Grandson, ponder how pop punk music is made differently to the old days, and James has a revelation about Father of Peace which leaves Matt speechless.

Season 11 Episode 3: Enter Shikari deepdive Enter Shikari have announced the sad, but understandable, news that the band will be going ‘dormant’ at the end of 2027. As big fans of the band since those very early days of ‘ Mothership ’ and ‘ Sorry You’re Not a Winner ’, Matt and James felt it was as good a time as any to do a deep dive into this incredible band. We track our way through the years, reminiscing about shows and albums, picking out favourite songs and remembering (badly) some stories of following the band. Join us for this trip down memory lane.

Season 11 Episode 2: This episode contradicts everything and solves nothing (Feat. Fugazi, Raye, Father of Peace and more) Matt and James are back with an episode of thoughts, opinions and nonsense. We discuss the many issues around bands trying to make money, venues trying to make money, merchandise, touring and everything else. We probably have more questions than answers, but it makes for an interesting chat. We look into whether or not success online translates to tickets sales. Matt chats through his experience at All Points East and we wonder what expectations people have at festivals and if they are realistic or not. Lots of thought provoking stuff, and a lot of laughs as always. EMO DAD PLAYLIST ⁠HERE⁠ . ——————————————— Click 'Follow', PLEASE RATE US and share our podcast with your friends.

Season 11 Episode 1: Emo Dad talks to unpeople Matt and James are BACK, and we start season 11 with a bang, as we speak to the lovely Em and Jake from THE hottest UK band right now, unpeople. unpeople gained high praise from the likes of Kerrang! Magazine (‘A phenomenon waiting to happen’) and Distorted Sound (‘arena-worthy hooks… hellacious screams… gloriously heavy guitars’). unpeople have been nominated for two Heavy Music Awards in 2025 - Best Breakthrough Live Artist and Best UK Breakthrough Artist, having also received a nomination in 2024. unpeople release their incredible new album, we are unpeople, on 9 October and are on the road this (and next) year with the likes of Don Broco, Royal Blood and their own headline tour. We LOVE this band so it was a pleasure to chat all about the new album, their amazing live shows, their transition from previous band, Press to Meco, and so much more. We hope you enjoy.

Season 10 Episode 13: 2000 Trees Festival review (Feat. Anthony Green, I Am The Avalanche, Arcane Roots and more) Matt and James went to 2000 Trees and…SPOILER ALERT…had a wonderful time. Join us as we discuss our thoughts on the festival, from the perspective of going with mates and also going with a child! We chat about all the amazing bands we saw, including the likes of I Am The Avalanche, Carsick, Arcane Roots, Thistle, Free Throw, Glassjaw, Anthony Green, Higher Power and many many more, including some bands who were new to us and got us excited. Of course we talk about various LOGISTICS and boring stuff which we like to obsess over, like the layout of the festival, how many water taps there were and the fact they don’t play music over the speakers between bands… controversial move or power play? These things need to be discussed at length and no other podcast will do it! We hope you enjoy, were you there? Who were your favourite bands?

Season 10 Episode 12: 2000 Trees Festival preview (Feat. Mouth Culture, Truck Violence, Native James and more) Matt and James are off to 2000 Trees and this is our preview! We are super excited to get stuck into this wonderful festival, which we are ashamed to say that we have never attended before, but always looked on from afar with jealousy and admiration. We talk you through the unbelievable bill, researching some of the smaller bands rather than focusing purely on the bands we all know. James picks out his favourite funny band names and Matt starts stressing about logistics (no surprise!). Then we get totally distracted by the food van offering! Will we see you at 2000 Trees?

Season 10 Episode 11: Slam Dunk Festival review (Feat. Unpeople, Dashboard Confessional, ‘A’ and more) Matt went to Slam Dunk and have a lovely time! Want to hear his thoughts, of course you do! Join us and we discuss the day and the many many bands who were playing in a boiling hot field! Matt tells all about his day, a disastrous Jelly Babies incident, the next big band that everyone needs to know, his opinion on Adam and Taking Back Sunday, swarms of wasps, dehydrated goths, the curiosity that is Sublime, Knocked Loose and so much more.

Season 10 Episode 10: Slam Dunk Festival preview (Feat. Static Dress, Taking Back Sunday, Goldfinger and more) Matt and James sit down to discuss this year’s exciting edition of the mighty Slam Dunk Festival. Matt will be attending once again, so we thought we should chat about two of our favourite things, emo bands and logistics! We work our way through the set times (the correct one after James started with the 2024 version in front of him) and discuss who Matt should see and why. We debate the merits of seeing older bands that Matt has seen a million times before, rather than new bands. We work out tactics for seeing as many bands as possible, without being so exhausted that Matt just goes home. Should he see TBS? Dance to Good Charlotte or mosh to Knocked Loose? Pay attention to the hype around President? Or just sunbathe? We cover it all and more. Going to Slam Dunk? Drop us a message on instagram.

Season 10 Episode 9: Time is running out (Feat. Like Roses, Future Teens, Angine de Poitrine and more) As Matt Bellamy once said, time is running out. We’re backs against the wall at Emo Dad HQ so we thought we’d do a quick ep to tie the season up and give us a little bit of breathing space. We’re against the clock so are an effort to stay FOCUSED and to the point, which basically means that Matt just hammers James with odd questions. We discuss some new bands which James is enjoying, the problem with having a new iPhone, the best way to press buttons, everyone’s favourite new band, Angine de Poitrine and so much more. It’s a speedy one, so good luck trying to keep up, we’ll be back before you know it with more nonsense and cool bands.

Season 10 Episode 8: Emo Dad talks to LØLØ Matt and James were delighted to sit down for a lovely chat with pop-rock trailblazer LØLØ. If you aren’t already familiar with LØLØ from her collaborations with Simple Plan and Maggie Lindemann , she has carved out a lane entirely her own, cementing herself as one of today’s most compelling, confessional voices with 150M+ global streams . Kerrang! called her “One of the most exciting new rock stars on the planet.” LØLØ has just released her sophomore album, ‘ god forbid a girl spits out her feelings ,’ via Fearless Records. The 13-track LP marks a bold new chapter for the Toronto native, expanding on the raw, rebellious world she’s built with a body of work that’s equal parts vulnerable, sharp-tongued, and unapologetically honest. We discuss the new album, what it feels like to release such personal songs, her relationship with social media having built a massive following, playing tours with the likes of New Found Glory, and so much more. We loved this conversation and hope you do too. EMO DAD PLAYLIST ⁠HERE⁠ . ——————————————— Click 'Follow', PLEASE RATE US and share our podcast with your friends.

Season 10 Episode 7: Small gigs, big gigs and new music (Feat. Shoreline, Deftones, Ben Quad and more) After a very mini break, because life got in the way, Matt and James are back to have a little catch up. We discuss our experience at the tiny Arm’s Length show in Kingston, how it compares to seeing bands like Deftones in huge venues, and chat about whether we prefer polished big performances, or chaotic punk rock shows. We try to work out how much money everyone is losing on a club tour, and we catch up on all things NO SAFE HAVEN, with James bringing a little surprise for Matt to enjoy. All this and much more.

Season 10 Episode 6: Emo Dad talks to Kevin Lyman (Warped Tour Founder) Matt and James were super excited to sit down with Kevin Lyman, the legendary founder of the greatest punk rock festival on earth, Warped Tour. We discuss Kevin’s early days of putting on house shows and calling the police himself to get people to leave, when we hired an air hanger and accidentally shut down an airport, and booking bands like Red Hot Chilli Peppers to play skate parks. We then of course chat about the early days of Warped Tour, how it was meant to be a one off and the first bands that were booked. We discuss the culture around the tour, how it’s important to support non profits and how to balance corporate sponsorship with punk rock. We chat about scenes and eras and bringing the festival to the UK. We hear the exciting developments of this year’s tour, with shows in the States, Canada and Mexico scheduled and loads of amazing bands already announced. It’s going to be mega!

Season 10 Episode 5: Emo Dad talks to Aaron Bruno (AWOLNATION, Barbarians of California) Matt and James were delighted to catch a quick chat (during a break in band practice) with the man behind megastars AWOLNATION and the incredible hardcore band Barbarians of California, and all round top guy, Aaron Bruno. We discuss the early days of life, going to see Strife and Snapcase in LA, being inspired to start hardcore bands, before eventually building a hugely successful career with AWOLNATION (over a billion streams worldwide). We chat about how esteemed producer and engineer Eric Stenman and Aaron came together to become friends and bond over a love of heavy music, eventually starting Barbarians of California, working on the band in parallel with AWOLNATION writing. We discuss what it was like to play their first show at the Troubadour in LA, the reaction to the band, and the influences which have inspired their heavy and quirky style of hardcore. All this plus Aaron telling off the rest of the band for being too noisy, Cactus drinks, playing with Guns n Roses and so much more. We hope you enjoy.

Season 10 Episode 4: Arcane Roots deep dive (Feat. Arcane Roots, Biffy Clyro, Muse and more) Matt and James are a bit tired this week, but we battle on to bring you an episode that we’ve been meaning to do for actual years! We finally decide to deep dive into the career of one of our favourite bands, the incredible Arcane Roots. A band who started in our local scene, we’ve been watching them tear up stages since the early days. We discuss those early days and some of our earliest memories. We chat about their influences and the highlights of their career to date. We also chat about the bizarre break up and the exciting reunion which has just happened. New music is appearing and shows re being announced, and we are buzzing for it. Join us in this celebration of one of the UK’s best alternative bands.

Season 10 Episode 3: Emo Dad talks to As It Is Matt and James are buzzing to bring you a truly special interview with the lovely lads from British-American rock band As It Is . We had an absolute blast chatting with them and, in true Emo Dad interview fashion, there are plenty of laughs, a few distractions, and the kind of questions most “proper” interviewers are too scared to ask. We dive into the bands they were in before As It Is, how the band first came together, and those early years on the grind. We also talk about their ‘large’ and ever-growing fanbase, and how they went from playing tiny rooms to tearing it up on the Warped Tour in no time at all. We get into style changes, the tougher moments along the way, and how they’ve been enjoying working on new material — with a new album dropping this summer. Then things get a little niche. We chat about the band training for the Brighton Marathon in aid of the brilliant Mind charity. Matt (who is a running coach) dishes out advice for the weeks ahead, and we somehow end up covering the connection between emo and running, whether filming a music video the day after a marathon is a terrible idea, how to fuel properly, and if stopping to play a gig halfway round the course is technically an option. It’s pretty bespoke… but trust us, it’s a great time. EMO DAD PLAYLIST ⁠HERE⁠ . ——————————————— Click 'Follow', PLEASE RATE US and share our podcast with your friends.

Season 10 Episode 2: Emo Dad talks to The Click Five Matt and James were excited to sit down with Kyle, Ethan and Joe from The Click Five. The Click Five are a pop rock band who burst onto the scene in the mid 2000’s, quickly gaining popularity with their good locks and catchy songs. They quickly crashed the charts and became the most viewed band on Myspace. Their career saw them tour mega arenas with the likes of Alanis Morissette and the Backstreet Boys. They became huge in Asia in their own right, headlining to thousands of people on their headline tours. We discuss their quick rise as a band, what it’s like to play mega arenas with the worlds most popular pop bands, having a movie made about them, being on a major record label and writing songs with members of Kiss and The Cars. We chat about the eventual hiatus and their recent reform, getting DM’s from the Jonas Brothers, playing in Celine Dion’s band and what the future holds. We loved this chat and could have gone on for hours, so many great stories from some top lads. We hope you enjoy as much as we did.

Season 10 Episode 1: Preseason (10) Training (Feat. Jerry Built, First Day Back, Prodigal and more) Emo Dad are back!! That’s right, after a little Christmas break, Matt and James are back to entertain you with more pointless chat, alternative music hot takes and massive tangents! It’s preseason once again, and that means we have got the cones out, we’re doing our shuttle runs, and working on our fitness. We’re also discussing early 00’s legends Jerry Built, and sharing some new bands who we think are worth keeping an eye on in 2026. Plus, of course, we talk nonsense for a massive part of the show, which is completely unrelated to music, standard behaviour! Good to be back!

Season 9 Episode 10: End of year review (Feat. Bloom, Novalists, Higher Power and more) Matt and James finish season 9 with a look back at 2025. As is tradition on all podcasts… we take a moment to reflect on what the year has been like for music. We discuss the incredible amount of impressive albums which have been released this year, by both big household name bands and smaller up and coming bands. We work our way through our individual Top 5 albums of the year and also chat about our favourite shows and who to look out for in 2026. All this and the usual pointless tangents. Thank you for listening to us in 2025, we look forward to entertaining you again in 2026.

Season 9 Episode 9: Silly Goose live review (Feat. Silly Goose, Brutus, Excide and more) Matt and James sit down for a long overdue catch up. We discuss how the new Brutus live record is so good that it should almost be illegal before detailing our recent (excellent) experience of seeing the mighty Silly Goose live for the first time. We also discuss some very important topics such as missing flights, scary aeroplane experiences, how things seem to keep going wrong and wonder whatever happened to the tv show; Duck Dynasty. All this and more silly nonsense. EMO DAD PLAYLIST ⁠HERE⁠ . ——————————————— Click 'Follow', PLEASE RATE US and share our podcast with your friends.
