Emo’s N(ever)ot Dead

Hard not to give Matt props over the last few years for his excellent “Emo’s Not Dead” brand. Just nailing the scene (what, 10, 12, 15 years after it happened?), maintaining its relevancy, and just helping old fans live and enjoy reminiscing about the past. For a long time, just enjoyed to see who he was going to bring as a cameo in his next video, what poor shenanigans he was going to put his hot supermodel/influencer wife through. Loved just about every minute of it.

And then.. one video, he drops this BANGER of a song which just a perfect encapsulation of not only the scene, but everything he’d done to date. Fell in love immediately. Such an awesome track. It was an awesome escalation, and frankly, it set an insanely tough tone for him in the future, and after a few then, cameo tracks… we get the announcement.

KICKSTARTER? FOR AN ALBUM?

Hells yes this man quickly got some hard-earned currencies and now that the album is officially out, I have to give him even more props. Got some BIG BIG names to do the album with him, and the influences serving as the back-end prop of this album are just super fun. I couldn’t help smiling the ENTIRE time i listened to it. Go listen to it. Listen to it now. Give the man his money – it’s just so well deserved.

And holy crap, hearing the paradiddle lyric of “PAMELA” (a love story song about the wall poster of Pamela Anderson in the vein of a Blink track).. just.. lodged itself in my brain for an ungodly amount of time. I hope it does to you too….
