Warehouse Live presents Emery.  With Hawkboy, Oh Sleeper, Jerusalem.

The entire Emery song catalog is embossed by major themes such as time, memory, language, and romantic tragedy. Emery is a post-hardcore/rock band currently signed to Tooth & Nail Records. They have performed at the Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, Illinois, and they have performed on the Warped Tour lineup, they also accompanied Underoath on their Australian tour in June 2007. They were also featured at Spirit West Coast's "Rock the Park" festival in Chino, California.

Emery was formed in 2001 in Rock Hill, South Carolina when four recent college graduates decided to pursue music full-time. Upon making their decision, they also uprooted to move across country to Seattle in search of a more diverse music scene.

“We actually left for Seattle at 7:30am on September 11, 2001,” recounts Studley, “We didn’t hear about the attacks (on the World Trade Center) until we were in North Carolina. We stopped to get some food and the waitress, who was somehow misinformed, told us that tourists were attacking New York. We later found out that she meant terrorists. It was an intense day to move across the country.”

The intensities become more positive as time passed and the band settled to find their niche in the Seattle music scene. In a matter of months they had won over the staff of Seattle-based Tooth & Nail Records, signed a deal, and recorded their upcoming album entitled, “The Weak's End” at Black Lodge Studio in Eudora, Kansas with producer Ed Rose. The songs, carrying a perfect blend of all the depth of hardcore styling layered with delicate melodies and often times fragile vocal overtones, are not only beautiful but also meaningful. Their second release, Titles "The Question" (August 2, 2005 - Tooth & Nail Records) deals with a more meaningful and oftentimes less screaming hardcore style, while maintaining a rough sorrowed sound.

The band says what people desperately need to hear.
