Emmure

Emmure was founded in 2003. Founding members Ben and Joe Lionetti (from New Fairfield, Connecticut) met Frank Palmeri (from Queens, New York) on the Internet and began rehearsals together. Mark Davis and Jesse Ketive soon joined. Jesse Ketive was formerly in the band Warfix, in which he played guitar alongside Bryan Goldsman of Southside Panic. On May 1, 2009, rumors of the Lionetti brothers departure from the band were confirmed in a statement from Joe Lionetti posted on www.lambgoat.com. According to its page on Victory Records' Web site, Emmure found a new guitarist and drummer (Mike Mulholland and Michael Kaabe.) Mike Kaabe formerly played with Warfix and Endwell. As of December 22, 2015, Frankie Palmeri was the sole remaining member of the band, as all other band members decided to quit. In 2016, Joshua Travis of Glass Cloud, Phil Lockett, and Josh Miller of [m2442847] joined the band. Lockett would leave the band in 2018 and Miller would also depart by 2021. Nicholas Pyatt would replace Lockett on bass but also leave the band by 2019. By 2026, after ten year of being in the band, Joshua Travis announced his departure of playing and writing with Emmure. In 2026, Emmure recruited Zach Allard, Zack Davis, and touring guitarist Chris Dombrowski of [a1199461].
