179. Topiary Creatures: Nashville Emo, Emotional Whiplash & Writing Vows in the ICU | Emo Kids Anonymous
Description
Welcome to EKA179! Today we're joined by Bryson Schmidt from Topiary Creatures! We discuss the bands new album Greenhouse Oubliette, their origin story, the Nashville scene and so much more. From Forming the band with his childhood best friend to having his wife in the band, Topiary Creatures is a true family affair and those ties seem to guide the band through their entire journey. We discuss other Nashville bands like my personal favorite The Low Blow (Hi Patsy!) as well as what makes that scene feel so special.
If you haven't heard the new Topiary Creatures album I need you to turn this off and go listen to it first, truly a special album that belongs on the top of all the critics lists. Thanks for joining me Bryson! Huge fan of your work!
