Wendy's Releases an Emo EP with Notable Emo Artists

Wendy's releases an Emo EP with notable Emo artists: The Songs to Listen to in a Wendy's Parking Lot

From Wendy's:
Yes, We Made a Real Emo Album

When we first came up with the idea to make an emo album, we knew we had to do the genre justice. So we partnered up with respected artists from across the emo community, resulting in a soundtrack made by real musicians, not generated by AI, and a high-quality production that stays true to the genre.

That team of artists includes multi-platinum producer and songwriter Matt Squire - whose credits include Panic! at the Disco, 3oh!3, All Time Low, Simple Plan and Sum 41 - along with a lineup of artists who know exactly how to turn heartbreak, nostalgia and existential dread into a catchy chorus.

The six-song EP is fun and features singers from Memphis May Fire, Anberlin, Silverstein, blessthefall, State Champs, and Holy Wars baring their angst about burgers, fries, nuggets and a cold Frosty with pithy titles like The Best Combo Meal on the Worst Night of my Life.

You can hear Beau Bokan of blessthefall belt out that one and sing lines like "I'll take another Dave single cause I'm single again." Other singers on the EP include Matty Mullins, Chloe Kinnon, Shane Told, Derek DiScanio, and Kat Leon. Online credits say that the EP is a collaboration between Wendy's and Rise Records.

Wendy's hinted at going emo earlier this week when online images of their red-headed logo got a new swoop of hair over one eye and thicker eyeliner for the other while her pigtail ribbons and collar were dyed black.
