Meet the Bands Responsible for Wendy’s Hilarious New Emo Album

Wendy's has dropped an emo album and the fast food chain has gotten some recognizable bands involved in the hilarious new songs.

The emo album was hinted at on social media earlier this week when Wendy's debuted a new logo showing the iconic "Wendy" character with her red hair swooping down over one of her eyes.

According to album credits available on streaming sites, Songs to Listen to in a Wendy's Parking Lot is a collaboration between the burger chain and Oregon-based Rise Records.

Who Is On Wendy's Emo Album?

Wendy's brought in actual musicians from various bands for Songs to Listen to in a Wendy's Parking Lot to create emo tracks inspired by the restaurant and its food. Among those involved in the project are members of:

• Memphis May Fire
• Anberlin
• Silverstein
• blessthefall
• State Champs
• Holy Wars

"Parking lots and Frosty spoons will get me over you," Beau Bokan of blessthefall sings on "The Best Combo Meal on the Worst Night of My Life."

Fans of the band seem to be into the kitschy track, which may have been Wendy's hope for the project all along.

"If blessthefall doesn't play this on their next tour, I will cry in a Wendy's parking lot with the best combo meal of my life," one fan commented on Instagram.

What Songs Are on Wendy's Emo Album

In addition to the track about getting the best combo meal on a sad day, the rest of Songs to Listen to in a Wendy's Parking Lot is comprised of titles that land at the intersection of fast food and early 2000s humor.
