  • Time is running out (Feat. Like Roses, Future Teens, Angine de Poitrine and more)
    Apr 27 2026

    Season 10 Episode 9: Time is running out (Feat. Like Roses, Future Teens, Angine de Poitrine and more)

    As Matt Bellamy once said, time is running out. We’re backs against the wall at Emo Dad HQ so we thought we’d do a quick ep to tie the season up and give us a little bit of breathing space.

    We’re against the clock so are an effort to stay FOCUSED and to the point, which basically means that Matt just hammers James with odd questions.

    We discuss some new bands which James is enjoying, the problem with having a new iPhone, the best way to press buttons, everyone’s favourite new band, Angine de Poitrine and so much more.

    It’s a speedy one, so good luck trying to keep up, we’ll be back before you know it with more nonsense and cool bands.

  • Emo Dad talks to LØLØ
    Apr 20 2026

    Season 10 Episode 8: Emo Dad talks to LØLØ

    Matt and James were delighted to sit down for a lovely chat with pop-rock trailblazer LØLØ.

    If you aren’t already familiar with LØLØ from her collaborations with Simple Plan and Maggie Lindemann, she has carved out a lane entirely her own, cementing herself as one of today’s most compelling, confessional voices with 150M+ global streams. Kerrang! called her “One of the most exciting new rock stars on the planet.”

    LØLØ has just released her sophomore album,god forbid a girl spits out her feelings,’ via Fearless Records. The 13-track LP marks a bold new chapter for the Toronto native, expanding on the raw, rebellious world she’s built with a body of work that’s equal parts vulnerable, sharp-tongued, and unapologetically honest.

    We discuss the new album, what it feels like to release such personal songs, her relationship with social media having built a massive following, playing tours with the likes of New Found Glory, and so much more.

    We loved this conversation and hope you do too.

  • Small gigs, big gigs and new music (Feat. Shoreline, Deftones, Ben Quad and more)
    Apr 13 2026

    Season 10 Episode 7: Small gigs, big gigs and new music (Feat. Shoreline, Deftones, Ben Quad and more)

    After a very mini break, because life got in the way, Matt and James are back to have a little catch up.

    We discuss our experience at the tiny Arm’s Length show in Kingston, how it compares to seeing bands like Deftones in huge venues, and chat about whether we prefer polished big performances, or chaotic punk rock shows.

    We try to work out how much money everyone is losing on a club tour, and we catch up on all things NO SAFE HAVEN, with James bringing a little surprise for Matt to enjoy.

    All this and much more.
