171. Riley! Talk Pure Noise Signing, Their First Headlining Tour & The Making Of "To Live And Die In The American South" | Emo Kids Anonymous

Welcome to EKA171! Today we're joined by Kris, Izzy and Ryan from Riley! THE MOTHERF*CKING BAND! (for the second time)! We caught them right as they got into Denver for the second show of their first ever headlining tour with Kerosene Heights and Bugsy. We talk about the differences in preparation between being a support act and the headliner, as well as what to expect on this tour, their recent Pure Noise signing, feet pics and so much more. With their new EP To Live And Die In The American South coming out this Friday, we dive deep into the making of the EP. From writing the songs and getting big features on them (Eric from Heart Attack Man, Tades from Hot Mulligan, Gabe from SAYP) to recording them with Phillip Odom (and getting that final touch from Will Yip), Riley! give us the full breakdown. It was an absolute treat having Riley! back on the show. Be sure to go check out their new EP To "Live And Die In The American South", out this Friday on Pure Noise Records.------------------------Thanks for watching, please subscribe to our show for more content!With multiple new episodes every week, Emo Kids Anonymous is your home for emo and everything else.
