Emanuel provide a soundtrack for the scenesters and scream shy

If the post hardcore of today had poster children they would be Emanuel, endorsed by Bad Religion and loved at Reading, this band instantly drill into your head that they're not scream by numbers post hardcore, the song doesn’t meander-most likely the reason why they're on Vagrant, not Victory records.

Their passion and fury pulse through the guitar melodies on this download only single second after second, not overly scream heavy, there are actually melodies discernable here, making it easy to digest for even the most scream shy. The band prove they can bring a distinctive sound to the table already toppling over sideways with sound alike bands, their internet buzz is justified here making it okay for you to slap their lyrics in your screen name.

Not just one for scene kids, it's okay to like this band, the brand of post hardcore (pop) they flog is actually good enough to look beyond the trendy genre they fall into to provoke you to keep listening.
