#4. Emery
untitled

Release Date: Late Fall, 2017

Emery is a staple in the Christian hard rock music scene. They have yet to put out an album that is not stellar and I expect more greatness this time around.
- Kevin Hoskins

Emery continues to impress as their career moves forward. While the band is no stranger to controversy, there doesn't seem to be much of it surrounding LP7. I can't wait to hear what the guy's have in store for us this time around. I do know, however, it will be extremely tough to top their last outing.
- Michael Weaver

With the amount of content that BC Music has released this year and the unexpected magnificence of You Were Never Alone, the pressure is certainly on for Emery to deliver on the highly-anticipated LP7. Fortunately, the overwhelming success of their Indiegogo campaign should be enough inspiration for the group to provide listeners with another fantastic effort.
- Mason Hayne

At this point, Emery needs no introduction. You Were Never Alone was a stellar release that has only gotten better with time. The success of their IndieGoGo campaign was no surprise and another fantastic release wouldn't be much of a surprise either.
- Lucas Munachen

Boy is THIS going to be good. Lots of bands find themselves just sputtering along after so many albums, releasing content that is good-to-mediocre, losing a lot of their original fanbase and catering to the softer side of the music industry. Not so with Emery. You Were Never Alone is perhaps one of their best albums to date, and I’m sure LP7 will put up a fight for that title as well.
