The Low Blow: Deconstructing Catholicism, Emo, Pop Punk & More | Emo Kids Anonymous

Описание: Happy New Year, baby! In this episode of EKA, we're joined by Patsy Long of the Low Blow! Robb and Patsy delve into the origins and evolution of The Low Blow, exploring their transition from neo-soul to emo music. They discuss the influence of Nashville's vibrant music scene, the emotional weight of their lyrics, and the interplay between hope and despair in their songs. Patsy shares her personal journey with identity and religion, reflecting on how these experiences shape her music. The discussion also touches on the beauty of life and death, the role of youth in creativity, and the significance of emotional vulnerability in songwriting. Throughout, they highlight the connections between their music and the broader themes of the fourth wave emo movement, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and emotional depth in their art. Patsy shares personal reflections on mortality and the challenges of negotiating identity, particularly in the context of family and societal expectations as a transperson in a world that isn't exactly in their corner. We discuss the cultural identity crisis in the South and the emotional responses elicited by political discourse. The conversation also delves into the evolution of emo and pop punk, sorry Scott's Records.

Go check out The Low Blow's new LP "Forest For The Trees".
