Recently signed to Numero Group, Ethel Meserve, were pioneers of the mid-1990s math rock and emo scenes. Renowned for their intricate guitar-driven soundscapes, raw and emotional vocals, and complex percussion, they brought an unforgettable energy to their live performances. Named after a local shop owner in their hometown of State College, PA, the band’s songwriting served as a crucial link between math rock, “first-wave” emo, and the melodic, vibrant energy of the late-90s midwest emo wave.
