about

Emma Conquest (RIP) emerged proper in 1995, after fiddling about since the early ’90s. They submerged in 2001 when founding member Simon ran away. Other members were Ryan, the other founding member, and Tim, who joined because he’d just bought a bass guitar that day.

This only ever surfaced on CD once, on Nightbreed’s ‘New Alternatives 4′ (still available, I believe.) The EP sold out in a few months, the tape sold out in three minutes after they played ‘Confide’ at the WGW, and the album still hasn’t sold out (have a look on Amazon, there’s a cracking review by a totally impartial chap .. yet, strangely, he used to run the web site ..) In the late ’90s the band toured Germany on a double-headliner with This Burning Effigy, as well as playing a number of festivals and a smattering of other gigs during their stint as a three-piece goth band, so goth that they were allowed to pretend not to be. A tour was planned to promote the album, b
