About this listen

Emo Radio/Podcast mit Post-Hardcore, Punkrock und Screamo-Hits von damals, heute und in Zukunft.
"If music is not emotional, then what is it exactly?
- It's not a Podcast -

“If music is not emo(tional), then what is it exactly?”


CHATEAU DISASTER – Emo Radio delves into this very question. Hosted by Sebastian Wahle and his guests, the show seeks not only to grasp the essence of "Emo" but also to engage in extensive discussions about this highly polarizing genre and music in general. The backdrop for these conversations is provided by ten songs that are somehow connected to Emo, Screamo, or Post-Hardcore, and all the participants have developed a profound connection to these tracks. Consequently, you might hear PALE's frontman, Holger Kochs, discussing not only THE PROMISE RING but also THE1975 and their influence on his music. Meanwhile, End Hits Records' boss, Oise Ronsberger, declares LEATHERFACE as one of the most significant Emo bands. In addition to these notable figures, guests on the show have included Brian McTernan, known for producing records for acts like HOT WATER MUSIC, THRICE, and the early TEXAS IS THE REASON releases. The show has hosted over 50 episodes, featuring prominent figures from the scene such as Matt Davies-Kreye from FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND, Kevin Devine, Jason Black and Chris Wollard from HOT WATER MUSIC, and Visions editor and Emo connoisseur Jan Schwarzkamp.

Since the anniversary episode in May, live recordings in front of an audience have become a regular feature. These highly emotional shows have been punctuated by unique live performances from artists like Michael Walmsley (ex-THREE MINUTE POETRY), Tanja Kührer (STILL TALK), Sebastian Henkelmann (ex-ESCAPADO), and Nicholas Müller (JUPITER JONES).

In addition to the scene veterans like Benjamin Sturm from CAPTAIN PLANET and the entire band YAGE, the show frequently features young, talented artists and bands whose musical roots stretch back to Emo. Figures such as Joachim Hiller, the editor-in-chief and publisher of Ox-Fanzine, have shared their insights on bands like DAG NASTY and the magnificent FUGAZI. Dave Smalley from DAG NASTY reminisces in his episode about the early days of the scene, expressing his wish that the energy of "back then" should continue to drive the scene today.

The question of what Emo truly is can only be answered by the guests at the end, drawing from their personal experiences. CHATEAU DISASTER – Emo Radio is more than just a podcast or a straightforward interview format; it's a platform for discussing music, especially its emotional aspects, and delving into the backgrounds of the guests.


For the upcoming months, the CHATEAU has exciting plans, including more live recordings in front of audiences (including Booze Cruise 2024) and Emo parties in various cities like Essen, Cologne, Hamburg, and Berlin.

    CHATEAU DISASTER - emo radio 8.4: THE SATELLITE YEAR
    May 29 2025

    THE SATELLITE YEAR sind die Saarländischen TAKING BACK GET UP KIDS und liefern mit „Shipwreck“ ein erwartungsgemäß großartiges Album ab, das aber doch nur ein Zwischenschritt zu etwas neuem und großen ist. Nach dem heftigen Schicksalsschlag, den sie mit der eigentlichen Nachfolgeband ALTANTA ARRIVAL erleiden mussten, soll es jetzt mit THE SATELLITE YEAR weitergehen. Dabei finden sich auf „Shipwreck“ zum Teil noch Songs aus AA-Zeiten, die mal düster, mal atmosphärisch, mal sehr 80er-lastig aber vor allem immer bodenständiger Emo alter Schule sind. Es geht um Verlust und Trennung, aber auch vor allem Hoffnung und Lebensfreude. Etwas das sich viele auch nur sehr hart wieder erarbeiten mussten. Irgendwo zwischen ANBERLIN und SAOSIN klingt das „Comeback“-Album nicht nur nach einem Lebenszeichen und einem „Wir sind noch da!“. Es klingt nach einem Neuanfang und hat dabei so viele spannende Hits im Angebot. Allein der Titeltrack wird allen Fans von Emo bis Alternative, die auch Wert auf Substanz legen, ein gehöriges Lächeln ins Gesicht zaubern.

    Wir sprechen über ihr großartiges Emo-Medley, das Saarland, COLDPLAY und wie es sich anfühlt in den Japanischen Charts zu stehen.

    1. The Satellite Year - Shipwreck

    CHATEAU DISASTER - emo radio 8.3: HERRENMAGAZIN
    May 15 2025

    HERRENMAGAZIN zählen zu den Grandseigneuren der deutschsprachigen Innenschau. „Zehn Jahre Stille, und jetzt rollen sie wieder los" — nicht laut, nicht schrill, sondern mit diesem leisen, wissenden Lächeln, das man von ihnen kennt. Seit 2004 schreiben sie Songs für alle, die Emo fühlen, aber nicht schreien wollen. Für alle, die lieber bei Nacht spazieren gehen, als am Tag zu marschieren.

    Jetzt sind sie zurück, mit einem neuen Album, das so heißt, wie es klingt: "Du hast hier nichts verloren" — gereift, gelassen und trotzdem noch tief drin in diesem ewigen Kampf zwischen Zweifel und Hoffnung. Elf Songs, die klingen, als hätten sie schon immer da sein müssen.

    Deniz und Rasmus sind ein wichtiger Teil von HERRENMAGAZIN, die irgendwie nie die große Show wollten und gerade deshalb bis heute genau ins Herz treffen.

    Wir sprechen über die Kunst, schlechte Songs zuzulassen, übers Älterwerden mit Emo-Wurzeln, und darüber, wie es ist, wenn man alles verliert, um zu merken, was man hatte.

    This Episode’s Playlist (⁠⁠⁠on Spotify - click here⁠⁠⁠)

    1. HERRENMAGAZIN - Alter Debütant
    2. HERRENMAGAZIN - Mit halbleeren Worten
    3. HERRENMAGAZIN - Früher war ich meistens traurig

  • CHATEAU DISASTER - emo radio 8.2: Rocky Votolato (SUZZALLO/WAXWING)

    CHATEAU DISASTER - emo radio 8.2: Rocky Votolato (SUZZALLO/WAXWING)
    May 1 2025

    Rocky Votolato is a true emo legend. His band WAXWING, despite its short existence, remains a crucial part of the late '90s / early 2000s emo movement. Their sound inspired many later emo and indie artists, and their albums are now considered classics of the genre.

    Throughout his career, Rocky has released several solo albums, including Suicide Medicine (2003), Makers (2006), The Brag and Cuss (2007), and True Devotion (2010). After a creative break, he returned in 2015 with Hospital Handshakes, an album produced in collaboration with Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie. In 2022, he released Wild Roots, an album in which each song is dedicated to a family member.

    With SUZZALLO, he has announced the formation of his new band. Their debut album, titled The Quiet Year, is set to be released on May 2, 2025, and serves as an exploration of grief and healing.

    In this episode, we’ll discuss why SUZZALLO—with its more powerful, distorted sound that leans into alternative rock—differs from his solo albums. We’ll also dive into the role a dragon plays in all of this and how catharsis shapes his music.
