Emery

Emery is a prominent American post-hardcore band that has made significant contributions to the music scene since their formation in 2001 in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The band, consisting of Toby Morrell, Devin Shelton, Matt Carter, Josh Head, Joel Green, and Seth Studley, relocated to Seattle to immerse themselves in a more vibrant musical environment. Their early work, including two EPs, garnered attention and led to a record deal with Tooth & Nail Records, where they released their debut album, The Weak’s End, in 2004. This album established them as a force in the post-hardcore genre, showcasing their unique sound and lyrical depth.

Following their successful debut, Emery continued to evolve artistically, releasing a series of critically acclaimed albums, including The Question (2005) and I’m Only a Man (2007). These projects not only solidified their reputation but also demonstrated their ability to blend various musical styles, from melodic hardcore to emo and metalcore. Their commitment to their craft was evident as they toured extensively, connecting with fans and expanding their audience.

In 2013, Emery took a bold step by founding their own label, BadChristian Music, allowing them greater creative control over their music. This move led to the release of You Were Never Alone (2015) and Eve (2018), both of which received positive reviews and charted on Billboard. Their innovative approach to music and fan engagement, including crowdfunding campaigns, has set them apart in the industry.

Emery’s dedication to their art continues to resonate with fans, as seen in their recent releases like White Line Fever (2020) and Rub Some Dirt On It (2022). Their ability to adapt and grow while maintaining a strong connection to their roots exemplifies their enduring impact on the post-hardcore scene. With a rich discography and a loyal fanbase, Emery remains a vital and influential presence in contemporary music.
