3) Emerald City are a Hard Rock band from Perth, Australia.

1) They formed in the 70s with the idea of bringing three lead singers from several bands together into a vocal powerhouse. They play many songs by classic rocks bands along with some originals. In 1985 the band broke up. Visit their MySpace Site http://www.myspace.com/emeraldcitytheband for more information.

2) They are a five-piece local post-hardcore band formed in Adelaide, South Australia in late 2009. The current line-up consists of Scott 'Sticks' Middlin (Vocals), Simon Hollands (Guitar), Todd Monaghan (Guitar), Dave Howard (Bass) and James "Suebee" Burford (Drums)

The general consensus of how the 5 of them combined to form a 'cohesive and audible band... is that Scott met Hollands at a house party, bonded over a mutual love of Underoath and Billy Talent. Scott, using all his powers of persuasion roped Subee into drumming as well as some other friends and Emerald City was born.' . The band underwent many line-up changes, before finally settling on the current one. The band is influenced by Underoath, Architects, Alexisonfire, Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria & The Used.

The best description of the band's sound was by drunken man after a show, who told them: 'You guys sound like the Used with breakdowns'. Emerald City released their first EP in 2011, titled 'These are Hard Times for Dreamers', which can be purchased in their Official Merchandise Store, http://emeraldcity.bigcartel.com/, while a free download of their song 'These Are Time For Dreamers' is available on their Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/EmeraldCityOfficial. They are set to release their first full length album in 2012.
Emerald City are still currently unsigned.
