The sensual sounds of Red Emery have inherited the loud and abrading feel of heavy metal, with a touch of dark, ominous rhythms depicting the edgy life. Subjects are down-to-soul: the hurt from being around vicious people, from the living in wicked societies, the wounds to heal. With the implication of Martin Riopel in 2009, now producing the album to be launched in 2012-13 winter, the evolution of Red Emery has leaned towards electro and post-industrial; musical structures are off the beaten track, short pieces of 3 to 4 minutes are like heart-throbs. The knowledgeable ear can trace the influences of Portishead and Queen Adreena on the young composer-singer. In 2010, Red Emery was in full creation-mode when bookings on Montreal scenes were already proposed to her, urging her to find the musicians that would make special chemistry. These are Sébastien Pagé, drummer; Roger Jr. Léveillé, guitarist; Louis Bernatchez, bassist. Together, they won third place at the Battle of the Bands during spring 2011 at the National, and fourth place at Club Soda later in September. They were then invited to Toronto to the BOTB ShowCase, on April 21, 2012. As Red Emery is moving on strong, the young Olivier Grenier-Robert has become the guitar player, and Benoît Scherer, D.J.
