Welcome to EKA129! Today we are joined by Jake Davis from the San Diego band Ikana! When I interviewed Jake, he was one day removed from playing a show with Jake Langley of Handguns (this was before Handguns pt 2 ) so we had lots to talk about.

Welcome to a EKA127.5, a mini episode (minisode) about the future of music festivals. Among other things we discuss the future or not future of When We Were Young, Waterparks and the Vans Warped Tour, plus the financial side of things.

Welcome to EKA127! Today we are joined by Capture This, a pop punk band based out of Denver, CO.

welcome to the interview I never thought would happen, nor wanted to. When we were joined by Handguns last fall we were expecting a routine interview with a veteran pop punk band. Instead, we were subjected to shenanigans, disrespect and downright unpalatable behavior at the hands of Handguns, most notably Jake Langley. "Never again" we vowed. Amanda was LIVID. Well, here we are six months later and I am sitting down in my living room one on one with Jake Langley to discuss the events that

Fred has been making headlines this week thanks to a few tiktok videos but as we know, tiktok is no place for nuance so I thought it was only fair to give Fred the chance to expand on his statements but more importantly, tell his side of the story and control his narrative.
