Last Saturday, The Emo Band came to Nashville once again to have Emo/Pop punk karaoke at The Basement East. The catch to this karaoke night is that you have the chance to sing in front of an actual live band.

Participants were able to sign up to sing any of the 80 offered songs from artist like Paramore, Fall out Boy, Brand New and many more. It was a fun flashback to all those angsty middle school and high school times for the people in the crowd. The show had a very long set time (went until 1 am) to ensure that as many people as possible were able to perform. First Year student, Josiah Pehrson, sang “What it is to Burn” by the band Finch and honestly killed it.

Be sure to keep an eye out for their next visit to Nashville if you love to sing (all levels of talent are welcome) or listen to pop punk!
