About Me

As always, we're late. Emerald Park has gone trough several changes before reaching this point, musically and on the web aswell. But now we´re here... The former 7-piece band is now reduced to a fiver, and we´re working on new material (wich for us also means experimenting with new methods of creating and producing music).A short bio (more to come). Emerald Park was formed in Malmö, Sweden as Emerald in 2001. After some quite successfull years on the demostage, EP released the full-lenght album "Sadness Within" (produced by Stellan Colt). In this time the band did quite many liveshows, amongst them openers for Maria Mc Kee, Luna, Clem Snide etc. A follow-up single named "My Star" (produced by Carl Granberg) was released a short time after. The band are right now working on their second full-length album (in collaboration with producer Ola Frick from Moonbabies), and as said before some members have dropped off, and the musical direction tends to change towards something that is without doubt new to the band, still it carries the identity that can be found on the former material. We'll keep you updated.
