169. Heavy Metal Chess Club: Philadelphia, Emo Origins and the Beauty in Baldness | Emo Kids Anonymous
Description
Welcome to EKA169! Today we're joined by Heavy Metal Chess Club out of Philadelphia! Hot off the heels of their new album "I Think It'll Haunt Me Forever", the members of HMCC joined us for a deep dive on the album as well as a look into their personal and collective emo origins. I'll give you a hint: lots of Title Fight, Modern Baseball and The Hotelier. Along with this we discuss the bustling Philadelphia DIY scene, their favorites in the area, how they ended up on We're Trying Records and so much more. Are they emo? Are they power pop? pop punk? pop rock? HMCC don't know and they don't care.
