NEW NAME FOR THE HUSH HUSH!!!
JULY 16, 2006
Recently, we received a message from Lujo Records notifying us that they released a band in 2001, that is now broken up, called The Hush Hush. During our in depth research for band names, we never came across this band once. But due to this and not wanting to infringe on their name, our band has decided to rename themselves. The new name is:

SPARK IS A DIAMOND

Embrace it! Love it! Get excited for what is to come!!

Check back soon, for we will be adding songs, artwork, and merch!

Also check out LUJO RECORDS and what they have going on over at their label!  They are some extremely nice people and we are glad that we crossed paths and got to know each other.

Thanks for the continuing support!



WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER DOOR OPENS!
JUNE 22, 2006
Hello EMR fanatics!  How is everyone doing?  We are back with another news update!  Two in one day!  I think this is the fastest two news updates have ever appeared on the EMR website.  We will try to update like this more often!

So...to the news at hand!  EMR has signed a new band!

Everyone please welcome THE HUSH HUSH!

THE HUSH HUSH come from the ashes of old EMR alumni FALL RIVER and current EMR artist MORNING FOR THE MASSES.  Earlier this year, FALL RIVER decided to throw in the towel and now the first off shoot has risen.  Completely different from you would expect, THE HUSH HUSH mix a dance driven, indie rock meets hardcore sound, with duel female / male vocals.  About to enter the studio with Paul Leavitt and Matt Bayles (Blood Brothers, These Arms Are Snakes) to record their first EP due out this fall, this is something you do not want to miss!

In the meantime, head over to their website and myspace page to learn more about them and show some love!

More news coming soon!!!



SAD NEWS!
JUNE 22, 2006
Hello All!  Unfortunetly we come to you this time with some sad news.  As many of you already know, due to reasons they cannot control, our super-group BOY CRAZY is disbanding.  Below is the personal statement from Jordan.  Please read .!

"If you have the record we released, you will notice that we mentioned something about following your instincts.

As many of you know, I have been forced to wear a neck brace while I play my instrument. This is to help stabilize my cervical spine as there are two vertebrae in my neck that have caused me intense neck and shoulder pain over the past 3 years. After years of physical therapy, acupuncture, and countless doctor visits, I have come to accept that this is a part of my life for the time being. Unfortunately, this would prohibit me from touring or playing for an extended period of time. With this in mind, it would be unfair for me to hold my best friends back.

For those who know us personally, you know what this band and music means to us. Its never been about a record deal or trying to be popular, its about creating music and moments that can last forever. This band was based on best friends and brothers, and those special bonds will never change. The only reason why this band cannot continue is due to my physical state and that is it. We are all on the same page. Thank you to those who opened their minds to something different and were able to appreciate a group of friends who wanted to breathe new life into the music community. I feel extremely accomplished in what we did. No one is going anywhere, and were all still going to be playing music as it is something that can not be taken out of us. We will keep you updated.

Saturday, June 24th we will be playing St. Johns Hamilton with Madison, Adelphi, The Late Night, and 451. A final Recher show will follow.

I have learned in the past few months that life is all about moving forward. Unfortunate things happen, but once you lick your wounds, you come back a little smarter, a little stronger, and a lot more dangerous. Everything happens for a reason."
-Jordan.


We here at Emerald Moon Records wish Jordan and the boys of BOY CRAZY the best.  If you haven't already, you should pick up their amazing debut EP "Whale Songs To Kensington Garden."  Even though BOY CRAZY will no longer be playing live, EMR will continue to push and sell this record.  We feel that it is an important release in our catalog and that it should be heard.  Thank you all for the support!

More news coming soon!



THE NEW WEBSITE IS UP!
JUNE 04, 2006

We still have a lot to update including content, releases, merch, and signings, so please come back soon. Thanks.



NEW BAND ALERT!
APRIL 28, 2006

(Buffalo, NY) – As you’ve read earlier today, we’ve signed a distribution deal with Emerald Moon Records.  We just wanted to say that we’re very happy to be working with Matt and company.  We’ve had nothing but a positive experience thus far and we’re sure it will continue into the future.

We’re also extremely excited to release “Fear the Engineer” on Tuesday, May 16th.  We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished with the record and can’t wait to get it out to everyone.  You can preorder the record on Smartpunk right now or pick it up at a show.  The CD’s official release show is Friday, May 12th at The Buffalo Icon with our friends in Speakerfire, among other great bands.  Come pick up the CD and say goodbye, as both ourselves and Speakerfire will be departing for our respective tours within a week of the show.

MASSIVE UPDATE TIME!
MARCH
30, 2006
Hello All!  Sorry for the disappearing act we pulled over the past month or so, but we have had a lot going on and now it is time for us to fill you in on everything!

First, lets give a great big congratulations to ALL TIME LOW for signing to HOPELESS RECORDS.  We here at Emerald Moon couldn't be happier for the boys in All Time Low.  We are pleased and honored to have worked and released two discs with All Time Low and we are excited to see what is up next for them.  They will forever be apart of our family.  Head over to their MYSPACE page for more info on their upcoming EP, new demo tracks and their upcoming tour schedule.

Unfortunetly, with the good news of All Time Low stepping up, there is also some sad news within the EMR Family.  During the past month or so, we had some bands call it quits.  FALL RIVER, now on THORP RECORDS, has decided to disband due to personal, financial and creative differences.  Head over to their MYSPACE page for the official press release, as well as for the info for their final show in PA.  And THIS YEAR PASSED has decided to call it quits as well citing similar differences.  Look out for both bands to spawn some new projects for sure.  It has been our pleasure to work with these bands as well.  They will surely be missed.

Next up, on a more positive note, Emerald Moon Records has started working with a clothing company called VATIC CLOTHING.  They make some really killer clothing and are some super nice dudes.  Be on the lookout to see some of your favorite EMR bands sporting their shirts in the near future.  Please go check them out and their threads over on their MYSPACE page.

Next up, on the update agenda, EMR has a bunch of new releases planned for the upcoming months.  Check out everything we have in store for you below:

EMR012 MAKE YOUR STAND: The EP is all finished, mixed and mastered, and is heading to press any day now.  CD Release Party April 10th.  Check out their MySpace page for more info.

EMR013 BOY CRAZY: Currently at the press as we speak.  It is up for sale on SMARTPUNK.com with FREE T-SHIRT with every pre-order.  CD Release Party April 14th at Recher Theater in Towson, MD.

EMR014 ??????? To be announced soon and released on May 16th.

EMR015 MY AMERICA IS WATCHING TIGERS DIE: hits the studio April 17th to record all new material for an EP.  Also plans for a vinyl release of older material is in the works.

EMR SAMPLER 2006: will feature 9 bands, with two new songs from each band being released in time for the summer.

Please please please be on the lookout for these releases.  We are so excited for these to come out and I promise you that you will not be disappointed.

As for the other bands in the EMR Family, STARS TURN COLD is about to be out on tour working hard again, as always.  Please check out their dates and go out and show some love.

HOMETOWN ANTHEM and MORNING FOR THE MASSES have been hard at work writing some new material.  I guarentee it will blow your socks off.  Be on the lookout for it on this year's upcoming sampler.

And BLED ACROSS MILES is currently seeking a new drummer and guitarist.  Please get ahold of them ASAP if you can help out.

Well that about does it for now.  We will be back soon with more info on EMR Release #14, that new website we have been promising you, and much much more!  Thanks for the support!  We couldn't do it without you!
