Rocky Loves Emily Returns!

Remember 2012? Maybe you do, maybe you don’t really want to. But you know what I remember the most about it? Amazing indie bands that just made me feel all the feels, you know? That’s the year that Rocky Loves Emily shattered the hearts of music enthusiasts, stopped gracing the stage and seemingly put down their instruments for good.
Last week Rocky Loves Emily announced their tumultuous return to the music scene with a line up change and tease at a new album. The band enlisted good friend and bassist Johnny Hanel to replace Stephen Hull who found his passion touring as a guitar tech for the likes of Parachute and BlessTheFall.
To make it better? They’ve released a new single. Check it out below!

“Hypocrite” is an anthem for those of you who have ever had a friend turn their back on you. We thought coming out with this song first would be fitting because it’s a reminder to us of who our true fans are. You guys that have stuck with us through everything are the reason we are back stronger than ever. All we need is you.

 

Rocky Loves Emily exploded onto the music scene in 2012 with their smash Secrets Don’t Make Friends released on Tooth & Nail Records. It was shortly after this debut that the band would make a decision of a lifetime, drop their label and sit quietly for 2 years and not release any new music. Today, the band is happy to be independently releasing their own music. 

Some of you may already know through word of mouth, but we wanted to officially announce we are no longer on Tooth & Nail Records. Our first single “Hypocrite” and our upcoming record Miserably Love are going to be entirely independent. We all grew up listening to Tooth & Nail artists and it was a dream come true when we signed; however with a lot of life’s journeys, what you want isn’t always what you need (and things aren’t always what they seem). We had some really cool opportunities and experiences because of the label… but, in the end, we realized it wasn’t the right fit for us and being an indie band made sense for our next record cycle.
