Emisis knows little competition when it comes to unabashed, balls-out rock. Fierce energy surrounds and embodies their music with a unique and raw sound. Searing guitar tones, walls of bass, rooted drums and emphatic vocal melodies lift Emisis above the cut. The sweaty stage is home for these five life-long friends, home grown on hard rock and metal acts dating back through the decades. Emisis live and in concert is by far the forte of this dedicated group. Embarking on a trial to test the waters, Emisis recorded their first EP. The four track listings (Turn Out, Split, Broken Pieces and Down Again) began receiving acclaimed reviews and attention from fans and the media alike. With a strong demo on their plate, Emisis thought it was time to showcase their talent live. Booking shows throughout the Chicago-land area, one particular competition struck their chord - Emergenza. Rocking venues such as the Blue Note, Double Door and eventually the National Finals at Metro, attendance was peaking over 200 fans, some from states away. Beating out more than 700 acts locally, Emisis returned after Metro with "Best Singer" award, only granted among two other bands throughout the national competition. The ball began to roll. Excerpts from magazines and papers began to surface, one specifically from Tom Lounges of Midwest Beat Magazine that summed up the aura of Emisis: "While having talent and good songs are a big part of succeeding in the music business, most national artists will tell you that other elements more often than not are the mitigating factors in who ultimately "makes it" and who does not. Those elements are -- dedication to chasing the dream, a deep-rooted belief in self and strong chemistry between members. That said, success should be a shoe-in for the five focused members of Emisis" Maintaining a long-distance relationship with Brynn Robinson (Singer) proved to be the most difficult task when he relocated in February of 2005 to Cleveland, OH for work obligations. If a grand story of patience, desire and will power were to weave the Emisis legacy, this would be it. Pushing distance aside on a banner of aspiration, the band continued to write new material and play on a regular basis. With over 2000 copies of their first EP in circulation, the decision became final to record a full-length album. In June, Emisis' self-titled debut CD was complete with eleven original tracks. The evolution and maturity of the songs had blossomed, showing a wide array of genre-influence and style, making the sound of Emisis their very own. With their mind set on all the souls around every corner of the world, hungry for fresh, in-your-face music, expect to see Emisis and their buzz contagiously sweep concert venues across the country.
