We're in studio with Games We Play! Just off the heels of his debut album Life's Going Great, and supporting Fall Out Boy's massive arena tour, Games We Play a.k.a Emmyn Calleiro is in Boston, wrapping up his biggest headline tour to date!
Games We Play sat down with Music You're Missing host Brendan Jeannetti to discuss his journey on the road for nearly 3 months, the process of crafting his debut LP, Girl Shaped Crater, performing at coveted venues such as Red Rocks and Madison Square Garden, connecting with fans through his vulnerable lyrics, and he even took the time to answer some of his biggest fans' questions!
MORE ON DEBUT ALBUM, LIFE'S GOING GREAT
Life’s Going Great sees Emmyn confront the emotional whiplash of his early 20s. In less than two short years he went viral, signed to his dream record label, found a mentor in Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, and toured the world supporting his idols (YUNGBLUD, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, The Band CAMINO). Simultaneously his personal life came crashing down -- he went through a major breakup, left Los Angeles and returned home to Nashville to live with his parents, and struggled with self-image. These highs and lows formed the basis of Life's Going Great. The album was originally set to arrive last year, but as things began taking a turn for the better again, Emmyn realized it wasn’t done, and decided to go back to the studio to finish telling the full story. Now, with introspection and a tad less sarcasm, life really is going great for Emmyn. Recorded across London, Nashville, and Los Angeles with creative kindred spirit and producer Larry Hibbitt (Marmozets, Nothing But Thieves, Dinosaur Pile-Up), the album continues to showcase Emmyn’s quick wit and aptitude for anthemic pop-punk song-craft.
