For blessthefall, emo can be funny, relatable, and surprisingly delicious. In their conversation with Chasta and Baby Huey at Aftershock, the band breaks down how “Best Combo Meal on the Worst Night of My Life” — their Wendy’s-inspired emo collaboration — came to life, thanks to a marketing team full of fans who knew exactly who to call.
The conversation takes plenty of detours, from fast-food hacks on tour to upcoming shows and sports talk. But the heart of it comes at the end, when the band reflects on what they love about music.
For blessthefall, it’s watching strangers come together at a festival, singing the same lyrics, lifting each other up, and finding a shared connection. They may joke that they’re the “dating app” for metalcore fans, but the sentiment is real: music brings people together in ways few other things can.
