FULL EPISODE: Elder Emo summit (Featuring Matt McGee of the Dom Telonges)
This week's guest is Matt McGee: bandleader for emo karaoke band "The Dom Telonges"
We talk about his journey from original music to emo karaoke, having Bowling for Soup open for them at their first show, and how pop-punk may be the next cringey nostalgia concept for bands looking to make a splash in their local market!
And since Matt just got back from When We Were Young Fest in Vegas, we talk about how emo fans and boomer rock fans are pretty much the same.
You can find Matt's band @thedomtelonges on IG!
