SNACK! Labor Day Mixtape
Finding Emo - September 02, 2022 13:00 - 20 minutesSince we'll not be releasing a full album episode for Labor Day, we thought we'd put together a few songs we think you should check out. We each pick 2 old tunes, and one new(ish) one to share with each other...and you! Playlist on Spotify and Apple Music
SNACK! New Cartel singles
Finding Emo - August 26, 2022 21:13 - 14 minutesIt's Cartel week here at Finding Emo, apparently. We talk about their new singles 17 and The End, and whether the beat in 17 should be referred to as "BLAH-ka-ka Blah-ka-ka" or "Clocks" beat. Very important stuff. Cartel on Spotify and Apple Music
Ep055 - Chroma by Cartel
Finding Emo - August 24, 2022 21:39 - 1 hourDid Kris and Blake's band have anything to do with the leaking of Cartel's debut full-length album? Do we all maybe have the same notes about some not-so-great lyrics on this album? Do we think this is a solid debut album from a band that got better and better? What's the meaning of life? We ans...
SNACK! Dashboard and Andrew McMahon live tour stream
Finding Emo - August 19, 2022 12:54 - 11 minutesDashboard Confessional and Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness are on tour together and just announced they'll be doing two live streams of upcoming shows.

SNACK! Jimmy Eat World's new single "Something Loud"
Finding Emo - August 12, 2022 13:44 - 10 minutesThe boys from AZ have a new single out. Spoiler alert: we like it. Something Loud on Spotify and Apple Music
Ep054 - The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance
Finding Emo - August 10, 2022 17:40 - 2 hoursBuckle up because we're tackling what might be THE defining album of the genre on this episode. Between the lyrical concept, the production, the ballads, the guitar solos, and the vibraslaps there is a LOT going on on this album and we love (almost) every second of it. Notes: The Black Parade...
SNACK! Kyle introduces us to Hot Mulligan
Finding Emo - August 05, 2022 12:00 - 10 minutesKyle has new music from Hot Mulligan for us to check out. We may get on a tangent or 3 in the process. Hot Mulligan - Drink Milk And Run on Spotify and Apple Music
SNACK! Is Tom rejoining blink-182?!?!
Finding Emo - July 29, 2022 12:00 - 9 minutesKyle fills us in on the blink-182 rumors
Ep053 - The Used (self-titled)
Finding Emo - July 26, 2022 05:00 - 1 hourWe already did The Used's sophomore album, but are going in reverse to talk about their debut self-titled album because it turned 20 years old this month! Blake complains about screaming, but overall we're even more impressed with this album than we were 20 years ago. Also, we continue to lavish...
SNACK! Bayside's new singles
Finding Emo - July 22, 2022 12:00 - 11 minutesWe're trying something new! There's so much going on with these bands we talk about that we wanted to start recording and releasing little bite sized Finding Emo Snack episodes about the current goings-on in the genre. Bayside has new singles out, so that's what we talk about on the first SNACK!...
Ep052 - Unwritten Law's self-titled
Finding Emo - July 11, 2022 13:19 - 1 hourWe go back to 1998 for this one, chatting about Unwritten Law's self-titled or "black" album. Also, because it's been a month since our last episode (sorry, summer vacations and all), we get off-subject more than usual because we haven't talked in a while. Notes: Blink 182 Covering ‘Shallow’ ...
Ep051 - From Under The Cork Tree by Fall Out Boy
Finding Emo - June 07, 2022 17:35 - 1 hourLet's talk about this monster of a record, ok? Fall Out Boy went multi-platinum with their 2005 sophomore effort, and we have lots of opinions. It might be the first time a song has been nominated for Nobody's Perfect by one host, and Desert Island Song by another. Notes: From Under The Cork ...
Ep050 - Futures by Jimmy Eat World
Finding Emo - May 11, 2022 21:18 - 2 hoursIt's our 2 year anniversary! And our 50th episode! We celebrate by talking about one of our favorites, Futures by Jimmy Eat World. Gushing ensues. Blake gets mad at online articles referencing harmonizing guitars when they're actually octaves. Kris has opinions about Night Drive. Kyle somehow br...
Ep049 - Killing Time by Bayside
Finding Emo - April 27, 2022 13:53 - 1 hourDid Bayside not get enough love in the 2000s? We think that might be the case. On this episode we talk about their 2011 album. Notes: Killing Time on Apple Music and Spotify Interrobang is a real thing. Blake learned something today. Jack’s Rig Green Day Cover
Ep048 - We Don't Need To Whisper by Angels & Airwaves
Finding Emo - April 15, 2022 16:28 - 1 hourWas there any way for the debut Angles & Airwaves album to live up to the absolutely astronomical (see what we did there?) expectations set by Tom DeLonge? The answer is a resounding "no", but we still like the album. Notes: We Don't Need to Whisper on Apple Music and Spotify
Ep047 - Brand New Eyes by Paramore
Finding Emo - March 29, 2022 05:03 - 1 hourThis marks our 2nd episode spent gushing over the talents of Hayley Williams and co. Don't say we didn't warn you. Brand New Eyes on Spotify and Apple Music
Ep046 - All Killer No Filler by Sum 41
Finding Emo - March 10, 2022 23:00 - 1 hourWe'd honestly forgotten about this record, which is a shame because it holds up much better than a lot of the other pop-punk released around the same time. We miiiiiight have issues with the opening and closing tracks, though. Maybe. All Killer No Filler on Apple Music and Spotify
Ep045 - The Young and The Hopeless by Good Charlotte
Finding Emo - February 09, 2022 01:27 - 1 hourShots fired! Blake comes in hot with his opinions on this album, so buyer beware (this is free, don't get too excited). 2002's mega super giant multiplatinum album from Good Charlotte has us feeling conflicted. Notes: The Young and The Hopeless on Spotify and Ap ple Music Good Charlotte mus...
Ep044 - Even If It Kills Me by Motion City Soundtrack
Finding Emo - January 26, 2022 03:29 - 1 hourWe think it's a travshammockery Motion City Soundtrack isn't more widely considered the face of the genre. They've got everything we love and came it hot with their follow up to Commit This To Memory. This album is underrated. Full stop.
Ep043 - Straylight Run (self-titled)
Finding Emo - January 11, 2022 14:39 - 1 hourAfter the dramatic Taking Back Sunday falling out, John Nolan and Shaun Cooper started Straylight Run along with Will Noon and John's sister, Michelle. On this episode, we talk about their awesome debut self-titled record. #teamnolan for sure. Notes: Straylight Run on Apple Music and Spotify
Ep042 - So Impossible EP by Dashboard Confessional
Finding Emo - December 22, 2021 21:52 - 1 hourThe So Impossible EP turned 20 years old this week! In what should've been a shorter episode based on the math of this only having 4 songs, the guys ramble on about how dating was different in 2001 (they assume, even they've all been married for at least a decade) and how much they love this EP....
Ep041 - Plans by Death Cab For Cutie
Finding Emo - December 10, 2021 22:46 - 1 hourSorry about the long break! Kyle and Blake had colds, Blake's computer crashed, Blake's audio equipment didn't work after his computer got fixed, Kyle got busy with work...basically, we failed you all. It won't happen again. Or it will. Time will tell. ANYWAY! Back to talking about great 2000s a...
Ep040 - Leaving Through The Window by Something Corporate
Finding Emo - November 04, 2021 21:47 - 1 hourWe're all in on Something Corporate's piano-driven pop/rock/punk vibes (and basically everything Andrew McMahon has done since). Although, for some weird reason, Kyle had never listened to this album before! But he's with us, now.
Ep039 - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out by Panic! At The Disco
Finding Emo - October 22, 2021 22:31 - 1 hourDespite the debut from Panic! selling over 2 million copies, the guys are not as impressed with it as you'd think. They think th $11k budget and 18 year old band members makes more sense as a measuring stick for the quality than the 2 million albums sold. Please don't hate us, Panic! fans! Not...
Ep038 - White Crosses by Against Me!
Finding Emo - September 28, 2021 17:05 - 1 hourAgainst Me!'s 2010 album was a departure from previous album styles, but that didn't stop 2/3 of the guys hosting this podcast from loving it. The other 1/3 is Blake, and he just honestly had never listened to the band before. Fresh ears!
Ep037 - Paper Walls by Yellowcard
Finding Emo - September 14, 2021 22:06 - 1 hourWhile Yellowcard admittedly had a slight downturn post Ocean Avenue with their 2006 album Lights and Sounds, they were back to being one of the best pop-punk bands of the 2000s with the quick follow up, Paper Walls. It's one of Blake's all time favorites, and his wife has zero interest in it. It...
Ep036 - Warning by Green Day
Finding Emo - August 31, 2021 22:29 - 1 hour"Warning?", you say, confused. YES. We think this 2000 Green Day album is the catalyst for the follow up success of American Idiot. Full stop. We love everything about this album, despite it being a commercial disappoinment for the band at the time. Notes: Warning on Apple Music and Spotify ...
Minisode 21
Ya Ever Heard Of...?! - August 25, 2021 02:00 - 41 minutesIn this Minisode the boys discuss the most recent shows and upcoming shows. We also discuss the pros and cons of bands using Kick starters.

Ep035 - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3 by Coheed and Cambria
Finding Emo - August 18, 2021 13:52 - 1 hourDespite 2/3 of the guys not being huge Coheed & Cambria fans, we still manage to all have lots of opinions about this record. Siri even chimes in at one point to tell us how she feels about the record. Notes: In Keeping Secrets... on Apple Music and Spotify Jesse's Girl 2 Blood Red Summ...
Episode 32: A Change Of Pace
Ya Ever Heard Of...?! - August 13, 2021 18:00 - 57 minutesIn this episode we talk about the boys talk about their wonderfully exciting lives and then discuss an old Myspace banger, A Change Of Pace - An Offer You Cant Refuse. You can probably guess what Nick thinks of this record... If you don't already be sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter @ ...
