The band subsequently moved to Seattle, Washington, to engage with a more established music scene. In 2002, Emery signed a record deal with Seattle-based Tooth & Nail Records, leading to their debut album, “The Weak’s End,” which was released in January 2004. During this period, Seth Studley departed, and Dave Powell joined as drummer in November 2005. The band’s second album, “The Question,” was released in August 2005.
