Emery formed in 2001 in Rock Hill, South Carolina, with original members Toby Morrell, Devin Shelton, Matt Carter, Josh Head, Joel Green, and Seth Studley. 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. This release included the single “Studying Politics” and was later re-released with a DVD featuring acoustic versions and bonus content. Joel “Chopper” Green left the band in 2006, with Devin Shelton and Toby Morrell taking over bass duties.
In 2007, Emery released “I’m Only a Man,” which explored a heavier sound, followed by the 8-track EP “While Broken Hearts Prevail” in 2008. The band re-signed with Tooth & Nail Records and released “…In Shallow Seas We Sail” in June 2009. The album featured the music video for “Cutthroat Collapse.” Continuing their touring activities, Emery participated in the “Scream it Like You Mean it” tour in 2010. Their fifth album, “We Do What We Want,” was released in March 2011 through both Tooth & Nail and Solid State Records, reflecting a more personal and spiritual lyrical approach.
In 2013, Emery transitioned away from Tooth & Nail/Solid State Records to establish their own label, BadChristian Music. This independent venture expanded into a blog and podcast, fostering discussions on various topics and supporting other artists. The band also launched Emeryland, a fan club providing exclusive content and community engagement. Over the years, Emery has consistently released new music, including “You Were Never Alone” (2015), which achieved success on multiple Billboard charts, “Eve” (2018), “White Line Fever” (2020), and “Rub Some Dirt on It” (2022). They have also developed side projects such as Matt & Toby and I Am Waldo, demonstrating their diverse musical interests.
