Oh my. Ache;Emelie is(was) a post-hardcore band often tagged as "screamo." The "screamo" tag is a bit inaccurate, as the music wasn't as hardcore as those bands typically are. The band hails from the hardcore megalopolis that is Lafeyette Indiana, and according to their PVF space, they have not broken up, but are looking to get enough member back together to release new material and tour again. Here's hoping that happens. Hell, if I lived close enough, I would have already kicked down doors to join them.
They are supposedly working on an acoustic release which should be fantastic.
Screeching vocals, tremendously powerful heartfelt lyrics, distorted guitars, and of course, a violin. They only have a single s/t Ep out, and I found a single elsewhere not on the EP. Not easy to find, as their repertoire of released material is small, but so well worth the find.
Tracks to pay special attention to: "Green Like Looking Good" and "I am Sisyphus."
Members of Ache;Emelie are part of the "Body of Wasps" outfit as far as I can tell.
Track Listing:
1. An Apparition towards Compassionate Living
2. I am Sysiphus
3. Bonaparte's Lung
4. Green Like Looking Good
5. She's Gone Gilligan, and She Took the Professor With Her
