Emarosa, VEAUX, et dreamfone

In 2006 keyboardist Jordan Stewart, drummer Lukas Koszewski, and guitarist E.R. White had a decision to make: would they attend college or start a new band – they chose the latter. Initially named Corsets Are Cages as a five piece, which included vocalist Chris Roetter, bassist Will Sowers and rhythm guitarist Madison Stolzer, following the departure of Roetter and Stolzer the band changed its name to Emarosa. The group subsequently signed with StandBy Records who issued Emarosa’s debut seven-track EP “This Is Your Way Out” in May 2007.

Former Dance Gavin Dance lead singer Jonny Craig joined Emarosa in November 2007 enabling the band to fulfil its screaming intentions. Showcasing their new singer, Emarosa issued the track “New Demo” (“Set It Off Like Napalm”) in January 2008, ahead of their sophomore record. Released in July 2008, “Relativity” earned a host of rave reviews and peaked at No. 33 on the Top Independent Albums Chart. With Kris Crummett at the production reigns, the album massively increased the band’s international exposure and was supported by extensive touring alongside Before Their Eyes, A Skylit Drive, You Me at Six, and A Day to Remember. From June to August 2009 Emarosa headlined The Artery Foundation Across the Nation Tour, before returning to the studio to work on new material.

Having signed with Rise Records, the group’s self-titled, sophomore album far surpassed the success of its predecessor. Released in June 2010, the record earned critical acclaim, later peaking at No. 69 on the Billboard 200. Proving the last album with vocalist Jonny Craig, former Tides of Man frontman Tilian Pearson filled in for the band's 2011 international supporting tour. In September 2014, following years of being without a permanent vocalist, Emarosa released their third full-length album “Versus”. Featuring new frontman Bradley Walden, once again the record earned popular reviews and charted at No. 61 on the Billboard 200.
