131 [Explicit Content] on LP

'131', a gigantic leap forward for Emarosa, with frontman Bradley Walden's soulful, stratospheric vocals on full display and instrumentation that recalls alt-emo stalwarts such as Anberlin & 30 Seconds To Mars with plenty of R&B inflection and even a little progginess a la the Receiving End Of Sirens. (Walden even throws in a lyrical easter egg in '131's final track, "Re:," as a nod to TREOS.)

Featuring fan favorite tracks "Sure", "Blue", & "Helpless". A huge proponent in pushing the band forward to new sonic spaces was producer Casey Bates (Portugal. The Man, Pierce The Veil), who entered a Nashville studio with Emarosa in early 2016 to create '131'. '131' benefited from many helping hands, from Matchbook Romance bassist Ryan Kienle & Beartooth drummer Connor Denis serving as the rhythm section & guest vocalists such as Acceptance frontman Jason Vena on "Young Lonely".
