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!

New Year, New Emo | Zach Lardy (Empty Isles)

Let's go! For our second installment of New Year, New Emo, we have a conversation with Zach Lardy of the band Empty Isles, who also just happened to release Derek's #2 Album of the Year for 2024!

We do some deep dives into Zach's songs from both of his albums - For When You Need Me (Tooth & Nail) and Playing Pretend (Independent Release). We also discuss his upbringing, signing to a dream record label, working with musicians you idolize, fatherhood, what it's like to be an independent musician, integrity in music, and so much more. Seriously, this was such a great conversation! Zach is the man, so definitely go check out the beautiful music he puts out as Empty Isles!
