Synopsis

Mum, it was never a phase—it’s a lifestyle! Welcome to the Black Parade with Shak and Bennett’s emo night.

 

Love, friendship, angst, and heartbreak—the quintessential makings of the teenage years. There was a song for every first crush, an anthem for every falling out, and a band to scream along with through every breakup. Break out the black skinny jeans and relive the soundtrack of teenage angst with iconic hits from bands like My Chemical Romance, Simple Plan, The All-American Rejects, Yellowcard, and more.

 

Join Shak and Bennett as they take a trip down memory lane, revisiting these songs and more from their youth!
