“Emily Danger pushes the definition of indie rock while providing a one-of-a-kind listening experience. The world has yet to be exposed to music so richly unique and layered with talent.” (“lemonade magazine”)
Emily Danger is a dark cabaret rock band from New York City. The band consists of Emily Nicholas (vocals, piano), Ryan Nearhoff (vocals, guitar), Cameron Orr (violin, melodica, vocals), Colin Lime (drums), and Coyote Anderson (bass).

Their music consists of lyrics written by Emily and music and arrangements created by the band. Emily Danger combines haunting melodies and vulnerable lyrics with orchestral, heavy, and often dissonant arrangements. they released their first ep, “Paintings” in april of 2012 to widespread acclaim.

“the most enchanting moments on “paintings” are when nicholas’ voice truly serves as an instrument in its own right and, not only does the listener get mesmerized in her singing, they don’t want it to end.” (“Thirty Roses”)
in august, the band toured across the united states and canada to sold out crowds in their glorious, big, white van, the dangermobile. they continue to play throughout the east coast and are based in brooklyn, new york.
“...beautiful, perfectly executed songs that defy categorization.” (“Music Review unsigned magazine”)

The band is named after a nickname given to Emily by Colin
because “Danger” is, in fact, her middle name.

David King's sound borrows from shambled yearnings of Paul Westerberg,
the soaked and sparkling Jesus and Mary Chain ‘Peel Sessions’ and Tom
Waits’ primitivism, while lyrically he’s often compared with the
social conscience of Bob Dylan and the poetry and dark storytelling of
Nick Cave, via the frenetic delivery of the Modern Lovers. The results
are primal, literate, dramatic and at once, distant and familiar. As a
teacher of Creative Writing and Literature, it’s no coincidence that
his reviews contain words like “poetic” and “glorious”, or that his
songwriting has been the subject of features on literary blogs.
