## Resource

We dive deep with Esteban from Slow Joy to explore the "hot and sludgy" Texas music scene and his experience touring with 2000s legends The Academy Is... Esteban reveals why Taking Back Sunday’s Louder Now remains the gold standard for emo songwriting and how he blends shoegaze textures with "tough guy" vocals.
