Story of Emery
Emery, the acclaimed post-hardcore band, emerged from Rock Hill, South Carolina in 2001. Founded by Toby Morrell, Devin Shelton, Matt Carter, Josh Head, Joel Green, and Seth Studley, the group quickly relocated to Seattle, seeking a more vibrant and supportive music scene.
Their early efforts, including the The Columbus EP and the The Weak's End demo, served as potent calling cards, ultimately securing them a deal with Tooth & Nail Records. This partnership yielded a prolific run: five studio albums and two EPs. Their debut full-length, The Weak's End (2004), was followed by The Question (2005) and I'm Only a Man (2007), the latter fulfilling their initial contract. Undeterred, Emery re-signed with Tooth & Nail, releasing ...In Shallow Seas We Sail (2009) and We Do What We Want (2011).
The band later signed with BadChristian Music, releasing You Were Never Alone (2015) and Eve (2018), showcasing their continued evolution and enduring appeal within the post-hardcore landscape. The band's name, incidentally, is a tribute to a first-grader Morrell encountered during a college internship.
