Aren’t We Amphibians: Emo, Indie, and the Art of Breaking Genre Rules

Aren’t We Amphibians: Emo, Indie, and the Art of Breaking Genre Rules

October 9, 2025

This Episode

On this episode of OurSpace with Matt Vettese, I’m joined by Aren’t We Amphibians, the genre-bending alternative/emo band blending indie rock, prog, and post-punk into a sound that’s all their own.

We dive into the making of their latest record, their creative process, and how they balance experimentation with catchy songwriting. The band opens up about sampling King of the Hill, navigating the DIY scene, and why they’re determined to carve out a space outside of traditional genre boxes.

If you’re a fan of emo, indie rock, math rock, or post-punk revival, this is a must-listen conversation with one of the most exciting underground acts today.
