Hello, and welcome to Films for the Void, episode #114! I am your host, Landon Defever, and my guest today is an indie/emo singer-songwriter based in Cincinnati, Ohio. For six years, she was the co-vocalist and guitarist for No Sleep Records pop-punk band Mixtapes, releasing three studio albums and touring with the likes of Bayside, Real Friends, and Masked Intruder. The band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2014, but she soldiered on with various projects, releasing her debut solo album I Was Due for a Heartbreak on Don Giovanni Records back in 2023. Now she’s back with her follow up studio album Strange Devotion, which came out this past Friday on Feel It Records, and you can catch her on the road with Future Teens and Adjy in late October through early November.

Hello, and welcome to Films for the Void, episode #113! I am your host, Landon Defever, and my guest today is the guitarist and vocalist for Marquette, Michigan power pop band Liquid Mike!5 Forming at the top of the decade, the band combines massive alt-rock riffs and self-depreciating lyrics into an accessibly punchy package, channeling the likes of bands like Nirvana, The Replacements, and Guided by Voices. You can check out the band’s sixth studio album Hell is an Airport when it comes out this Friday, September 12, and you can catch the band on the road this fall opening for Militarie Gun.

Hello, and welcome to Films for the Void, episode #112! My guests today are the husband-and-wife duo behind emo independent record label Count Your Lucky Stars, home to bands like Camp Trash, Star Funeral, and Thank You I’m Sorry, along with alumni such as Foxing, Free Throw, and Snowing. The pair are also the minds behind Michigan emo band Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate). While the band was active for ten years, the pair decided to hang things up in 2016, but have recently reunited to play Best Friends Forever Festival in Las Vegas on October 10-12 alongside headliners Minus the Bear, Jawbreaker, and Jimmy Eat World. If you can’t make it to Vegas, however, they’ll be playing a string of shows leading up to the festival across the US, kicking things off on September 27 at the Orchid Theater in Ferndale Michigan.
