Driving, fluid melodies; honest, open lyrics; rich and shapely instrumentation; sitting on a bed of natural and strong rhythm this is the musical foundation for Emmaus. This Sydney five-piece offers an indescribable sound to the indie-pop scene and brings new hope through thoughtful and progressive artistic expression.A combined passion for music and an open and honest approach to life has seen Emmaus create a brand of music that encapsulates tension and release, and draws the listener into a rich and personal experience. "A lot of people have expressed to me that even though the lyrics seem quite melancholic; they find hope in listening to them," vocalist and songwriter Beth Anderson explains, "When I write, Im basically opening the door to whats inside my heart, making whats inside become whats expressed outwardly, hoping that it reaches someone, somewhere."With strong and varied influences such as the Foo Fighters, George, Damien Rice, Dead Poetic and The Beach Boys, Emmaus' music covers a wide range of emotions and sounds that transcends simple communication and logical understanding, bypasses inhibitions and goes straight to the heart.Conveying an emotionally transcending story with an emphasis on the beauty found in the journey, Emmaus reaches to new ground ensuring that a huge impact and instant chemistry will be felt.
