The tune was ready for us in that room and has modified little or no since. Easy, efficient, uncomplicated and timeless.”

Alongside Phil on vocals and guitar and Paul on bass, the band additionally comprise Connor Lengthy on guitar and G-Lo Knott on drums, and this constant line-up has definitely helped the band to develop their sound as they proceed their journey in direction of a extremely anticipated and lengthy overdue debut album. As a band who’ve persistently described themselves as “a tuneful, melodic wall of sound wearing practical outside put on,” Emily’s Music sticks to this mantra and in addition places down a robust marker as this new period dawns.
