Seismic Preview: Emeralds at The Funhouse on 8/7

So if you haven’t heard….well guess what? Now you will; the band Emeralds are making their mark on the Seattle scene with their slightly yet familiar sounds of yesteryear. The song “Hanged Man” on their MySpace page resonates with some subdued Layne Staley meets Ozzy vocals, then just throw in some good vintage 60- 70’s stylings and  guitar work, and its got everyone’s ears on point. 
 Five guys simply coming out to play music and do what they love,  has apparently created a buzz within the local music industry. Riding the perfect line with some elements of good old school metal, and some  fuzzed out whining and screaming  guitars, topped off with some heavy Black Sabbath riffs seems to be a potion for success. So for some good head-banging and  fist pumping, go and check out these boys headline The Funhouse Saturday night with openers Higtower from SF and Natur from NYC. I have a feeling we will be hearing a lot more about this band in the time to come.
