| Introduction | Song-writer Emily Long fronts a brutal and sexy rock n' roll band. Upon first listen you might hear influences of Ronnie Spector and Freddy Mercury in Emily's voice but the band nods to a more modern T.REX or heavier Cars. Centered around Emily’s towering vocals the line up also includes finger bleeding melody chemist Daniel Ryan Espy as well as the clean and calculated Nik Lokenssgaard on guitars. The band’s rhythm section is carried by amp kicking bassist Bret Ritter and the hard hitting showman Zach Jones on drums. Emily earned underground success with her debut LP "When I Was In Love With". After a week at SXSW placements on The WB's The Lake and Sorority Forever as well as on Universal Records compilation Bad Girls Don't Cry alongside Amy Winehouse and Duffy, Emily and her band are back in the studio and hard at work with the follow up record "Dirty Face". After striking the interest of Coheed and Cambria producer Chris Bittner at a show the band called upon him to deliver a competatively spirited sound. The result is a sexually charged set of lyrically driven, dynamic rock n' roll songs. Initial buzz surrounding the record centers on Emily’s best writing to date. |
