Our first guest in the Richmond Series highlighting the Emo scene in Richmond, Virginia during the 2000s is... Drew Vanlandingham! 
Drew fronted the beloved emo act A Suffocating Signal, and we dive into the origin story, songwriting, playing vulnerable songs in a hardcore city, and what other bands in that time period made the scene so special. 
He is currently playing guitar in the hardcore band Contact, so check out their new music and follow them on socials!

In Conversation With: Chris Baldwin (Girls Get All The Action, Bet On Black, The Greater The Risk, The Process Recording) Part 1

Andrew, Jake, and Derek are best friends who have played in bands since their youth, coming up in the era of “emo” before it was a cool term, before it was even embraced by the bands now basking in its seeming revival. Now as young dads, they still write music and are always sharing music with each other, new and old. This podcast is a deep dive back into the discographies of 2000s emo bands, conversations with some of the artists and key players in the scene, what it means to be in a band and craft music, and how fatherhood plays into it all. Let’s go!
