This April Emery is set to tour Australia on their first every headlining tour “We Do What We Want” .

To coincide with the Australian tour will be the release of the bands much anticipated 5th studio album “We Do What We Want” on long time label home Tooth And Nail Records on Friday March 29th. The album was recorded in Seattle at The Compound with guitarist Matthew Carter and Aaron Sprinkle whom was responsible for the previous 2 efforts. As Josh (keyboards) describes:

"The new album's a little different than our older records. I think the album, overall, is heavier than anything we've done. There's more screaming and riffing. At the same time, there's some of the most melodic material we've ever written.”

Australian fans will be one of the first in the world to witness new tracks taken from “We Do What We Want” in the live setting with the band also incorporating an array of fan favourites from their extensive back catalogue.
