Fears of Abandonment
This week I chat with Ellis, Aidan and James of punk band Fears of Abandonment. Formed in 2015 by brother Ellis and Aidan Holland, They are the oldest group in their local music collective known as the Chow Mein Triad. The band started of playing pop punk covers at their high school in Pasadena but quickly evolved to writing their own material. In 2017 they were joined by bassist James Fall and they began branching out to larger and larger venues. Mixing dark and woeful lyrics with upbeat pop hooks and melodies, Fears of Abandonment is sure to bring out the Emo kid in anyone willing to give them a listen. Tune in to hear all about their beginnings, their high school gigs, the Bay Area tour and find out all about the times they have played the historic Whisky A Go Go.
