Show Notes
Keith Latinen from Count Your Lucky Stars, Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate), Mt. Oriander, and Parting is finally on the show. We had a chance to reconnect at Best Friends Forever 2026 and reconnect again for the pod to talk about his bands, his career, and life up to this point in the world of emo. Keith has never shied away from the word and always was championing bands that slipped through the cracks for many as this genre continues to gain popularity.

More from Washed Up Emo
If you know, you know. Back in the late 2000s UK scene, pennines (pronounced pen-nines) were one of those special, lightning-in-a-bottle bands. Hailing from Norwich, the four-piece featuring Henry Tremain (who went on to TTNG), Tristan Holden, Mike Wightman, and Jem Eaves crafted a clean, syncopated, pedal-free strain of math-rock and emo that relied on pure room energy, arpeggiated guitars, and zero fluff. They burned fast, dropped a handful of hand-burned demo CDRs at shows, and left behind a tight, sub-20-minute discography that achieved mythical cult status among real heads.
