Backstory:
Emotional Molecule was formed in the heart of New York City in 2010, by high school friends; lead vocalist, Sam ‘Sunny’ Daniels, guitarist, Leo ‘Lion’ Bellamy, bassist, Mike ‘Molecule’ Donahue, and drummer, Zach ‘Zero’ Rogers. Having grown up listening to various rock music genres, they found their common ground in their shared love for alternative rock. They initially practiced in garage set-ups, performing in small gigs, local festivals, and school events. The band’s big breakthrough came in 2012 when they were discovered by a talent scout at a music festival who was drawn in by their unique sound and raw, emotional lyrics.

[A] Unspoken words, [D] they’re tearing me [E] apart
Fan’s Testimonial:
Hi, my name is Chelsea. I am, I admit, a die-hard fan of Emotional Molecule. Why I love them so much? Well, their songs seem to speak directly to my soul. Their lyrics touch on themes that are so raw, so real. “Echoes of the Heart”, for instance, is a song that I listened to over and over again after a really tough breakup. It felt like they understood my pain and put it into words. Their music is like a friend who gets what I’m going through. It’s impossible not to feel connected to them.
