Hello and welcome to episode 148 of the ACPG Podcast.
This week Ben is back on zoom with Roxanne Emery talking about her new music project Rory.
It's a wide ranging episode covering her life in music, her new album, and mental health.
She's a multi-platinum selling songwriter who has written for the likes of Charli XCX, NOAHFINNCE and All American Rejects, has graced the cover of Spotify’s All New Rock and YouTube’s Noise Riot, been selected as BBC Introducing Record of The Week, as well as receiving eclectic support from from BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, Kerrang, PopJustice and Rock Sound, with the latter calling previous single and EP track ‘Uncomplicated’ "an emotional, sentimental and crushing pop-punk belter.”
She's known for her incredibly emotive and impactful songwriting, with the new EP exploring an impressive and cathartic range of emotions and sonics from melodic post hardcore to infectious pop punk crowd pleasures, and more sensitive alt pop. ‘Help Your Friends Get Sober’ taken from the EP, has also gone viral on Tik Tok with over 900,000 views, connecting with those who have lost loved ones to addiction.
Please note there is a trigger warning for this episode as we discuss some very personal topics with Roxanne and some listeners may wish to listen with caution around mental health.
Thank you to Roxanne and Jasleen for this interview.
See you in a week.
