Materializing out of quiet Connersville, IN, Emmaline has managed to emerge as the driving force for the Midwest metal and hardcore scene. This five-piece group characterizes their unique sound through heated vocals and an energetic live show. Brett Vadakin (Vocals), Curran Alvarez (Guitar), Blake Tidrow (Drums), Zakk Noland (Guitar), and Montgomery Adams (Bass), offer their fans fierce riffs, dark leads, and an unorthodox melodic delivery. The band explains that an ‘in your face’ attitude mixed with infectiously clean melodies, allows them to “separate Emmaline from most heavier metal bands today.” With paternal influences ranging from classical vocalist mothers to deathcore shredding fathers, Emmaline’s true talent and journey towards musical perfection is not only favored among their fans, but is in their blood.
Emmaline is currently working in the studio to produce the debut EP that will leave fans on edge. After being showcased as “Band of the Week” in numerous locations, Emmaline has propelled their visible popularity into opportunities to play live with bands such as Corpus Christi, The Gun Show, and The Burial. Music analyst Olli Dino has nothing but praise for Emmaline’s rapid progress, and states, “…they constantly improved not only in song-writing, but also in instrumental vocal skills. If these guys go on to evolve at the same speed they do by now, they’ll become something labels can’t ignore forever.”
