Emery and Singer Part Ways

2011-01-31 by atrink | 116 Comments
In a rather surprising and sudden turn of events it appears that singer/bassist Devin Shelton has parted ways with Emery.

"Hey everyone, Devin here. I just wanted to let you all know that I am taking an indefinite hiatus from Emery. This has been a very tough decision for me, since Emery has been an important part of my life for over a decade. I'm not saying I will never do anything else with Emery, but things change and life goes on, no matter how much I will miss it. Thanks so much for all your support over the years and I hope everyone continues to follow Emery all the same."

Emery's new CD, We Do What We Want is scheduled to be released March 29th

Oh darn, Devin was a huge part of the versatility of this band, since he could do both the clean & screamed vocals.

HOWEVER, the fact that Emery were so flexible means he is technically does not have to be replaced. Anyone who has seen them play live, knows Toby can also play bass while performing his clean vocals (& Josh screams away).

You mean tri-vocals Alex. They will still have dual vocals (Toby & Josh).

Plus, I am presuming Devin has only just left, so he wil be on the new album.

Dogget is right, the singers do sound pretty much the same, it's really the hooks and melodies that made the band. They'll just have to find another bassist with a good voice, that shouldn't be too hard. Anyway, the guy will still be on the album, so fans get to listen to him one last time
