Emarosa is an American pop (formerly post-hardcore) band formed in Lexington, Kentucky, in 2006. The band currently consists of lead guitarist and founding member ER White and lead vocalist Bradley Walden, who joined the band in 2013. The group has undergone several line-up changes throughout its career, with lead guitarist ER White being the sole remaining founding member. Originally oriented towards post-hardcore, Emarosa has gravitated towards a more pop rock sound in recent years. Upon the band's formation, they released one extended play (EP) in 2007, titled This Is Your Way Out, and shortly after, the group underwent significant line-up and sound changes, dropping their metalcore influence and leaning towards a more rock sound. The band released their debut studio album, Relativity (2008), which featured vocalist Jonny Craig and rhythm guitarist Jonas Ladekjaer. Their second studio album, Emarosa, was released in June 2010, to critical acclaim, and was Craig's final album with the group. Following Craig's departure, the band toured briefly with a fill-in vocalist before entering a period of inactivity. Eventually, Craig was formally replaced by Walden. Emarosa then released their third studio album, Versus, on September 9, 2014, which peaked at No. 61 in the Billboard 200. The band signed to Hopeless Records and released their fourth and fifth studio albums, 131 (2016) and Peach Club (2019). A sixth, Sting, is set for release in January 2023. ===Current members=== ER White – lead guitar (2006–present); rhythm guitar (2014–2016, 2022–present); bass (2022–present) Bradley Walden – lead vocals (2013–present) ===Past members=== Chris Roberts – lead vocals (2006) Mike Bryant – rhythm guitar (2006) Chris Roetter – lead vocals (2006–2007) Madison Stolzer – rhythm guitar (2006–2007) Jonny Craig – lead vocals (2007–2011) Lukas Koszewski – drums (2006–2014) Jonas Ladekjaer – rhythm guitar (2007–2014) Will Sowers – bass (2006–2016) Jordan Stewart – keyboards (2006–2018) Matthew Marcellus – rhythm guitar, backing vocals (2016–2022; touring member 2014–2016) Robert Joffred – bass, backing vocals (2018–2022; touring member 2016–2018) Read more on Last.fm.
