Andrew, Jake, and Derek are best friends who have played in bands since their youth, coming up in the era of “emo” before it was a cool term, before it was even embraced by the bands now basking in its seeming revival. Now as young dads, they still write music and are always sharing music with each other, new and old. This podcast is a deep dive back into the discographies of 2000s emo bands, conversations with some of the artists and key players in the scene, what it means to be in a band and craft music, and how fatherhood plays into it all. Let’s go!

In Conversation With: Bobby Faithful (Bet On Black, Dead Youth Club)

We've got another wild episode for you this week!

Bobby Faithful is a sort of mythical human in the realm of 2000s emo/post-hardcore, especially regarding Bet On Black, "the supergroup that never was" (his words). There have been so many ties that lead back to Bobby and this band, including multiple grammy winning producers, amazing emo bands, and even a super successful emo cover band (Throwing Back Sunday).

We talk about growing up in the hardcore scene in the DC/DMV/NOVA area, finding community as a person of color, meeting Andrew Goldstein in a technology class, and a bunch more.

Lately Bobby has been crushing through some really intense health issues (as you will hear throughout our conversation), but what's amazing is how he is using it to his advantage in crafting music. Truly inspiring stuff!

Follow him on socials for updates about his new band Dead Youth Club and his health related updates! @bobbyfaithful
