Games We Play are a punk-pop trio fronted by Miami-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Emmyn Calleiro. In 2022, Games We Play signed to Fueled By Ramen and DCD2 Records. DCD2 Records Founder and Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz commented, “In a time where the world seems to get so much serotonin funded by a committee of likes and comments on social media platforms, true authenticity is scarce but invaluable. This is what drew me to Games We Play—it’s all there—cohesive, funny, sad—self-aware and ambitious all folded inside of true punk rock hooks. It feels like a throwback, but from the future.” Calleiro’s charm helped him amass a sizable TikTok following. Short videos teasing songs, explaining lyrics, telling stories, or just being silly regularly pull in hundreds of thousands of views.
