I'm Only a Man

Emery

Polished alternative rock with theatrical vocal harmonies and vintage synth flourishes. A bold, melodic pivot from their aggressive post-hardcore roots.

It's like if a post-hardcore band decided to write a Queen record in 2007.

A theatrical and restless blend of melodic confidence and late-night introspection.
