Empris & The Gems is a Baltimore-based band bringing a fresh perspective to indie rock with their self-described style, “melodrama indie rock.” Formed in 2024 by lead vocalist and guitarist Empris (Emily Priscilla), the band features Maggie Glass-Lane on backing vocals, Kyle Hadley on bass, and Kameron Harrison on drums. Bringing their talents together, they craft original songs that fuse driving rhythms, ambient textures, infectious melodies, and introspective lyrics that deeply resonate with listeners.

Now, with anticipation building, Empris & The Gems are preparing to release their debut EP, Three of Swords—a collection that captures the raw emotion, sonic depth, and storytelling that define their sound. The EP is a bold first statement, weaving themes of heartbreak, healing, and self-empowerment into a moody yet vibrant sonic palette.
