The Emerald Down was born in 1997 unto the soggy heaven of lo-fi pop known to some as Olympia, WA, United States. But one and a half years ago, The Emerald Down forged their way east from Olympia, WA and landed in Columbus, Ohio where the band is now based. In the past they have had the pleasure of playing with bands such as Unwound, Hovercraft, The Posies and King Black Acid. Before their move East they were also voted as one the top 25 bands in the Pacific Northwest by Seattle's Pandemonium Magazine! The Emerald Down are also receiving radio play on radio stations in the US, Canada and Europe. The CD release Scream The Sound consists of four members.
