Classic rock. Progressive pop. Jazzy rock. Funky blues. That's what Emery's Misery's sounds like. Well, kind of. Emery's Misery starts with a basic Beatles/Kinks/Dylan foundation and then throws all kinds of influences into the mix. So while the roots are in the 70s, the sound is 21st century.

The band has a strong background in "progressive rock" (e.g. Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes, King Crimson, Steely Dan) and are experimental in their approach to music. But instead of expressing this with long free form jams ala Phish or the Grateful Dead, Emery's Misery channels their adventurous nature into shorter, more structured songs that are immediately accessible. Rather than displaying their musical chops for their own sake, Emery's Misery focuses on bringing the most out of their songs. So while the songs may adopt a conventional pop/rock format (think XTC, Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow), they are delivered with a strong punch and some surprising twists and undercurrents that keep them sounding fresh and interesting after repeated listens.
