The Blurb…
Savannah three-piece Ember City makes melodic, fuzzy, riff-heavy alt-rock music. Formed in 2016, the band features vocalist and bassist Sarah Poole, along with guitarist Ryan Taito and drummer, Sean Moloney.
Their debut album, Invisible Ruler, was released in March of 2017 and included their first single, Blackout. In 2022, the band produced Howls Of The Sirens, an all local, female-fronted rock show at venue Victory North. The show has since become an annual show with its second showing, Howls Of The Sirens II, in 2023.
