"WOW, This is incredible, all sell-out shows. A year ago we played the Roxy to 20 people and Wednesday night it was packed! The energy from the fans has been amazing and we can't wait to come to New York for the first time and play in front of all the Emblems, thank you and see you soon!"- Wes Stromberg

Brothers Wesley and Keaton Stromberg (19 &16) and lifelong friend Drew Chadwick (20) from Huntington Beach, CA who make up Emblem3, premiered three new songs live at the Roxy including the Benji and Joel Madden produced "XOXO", "Just For One Day" and their debut single, "Chloe (You're The One I Want)" in which The Hollywood Reporter describes as "a mix of sugary pop confection and a Sublime-inspired beach vibe," and will be released this Spring.  The band are currently in the studio at work on their debut album which is being executive produced by award winning songwriter and producer Savan Kotecha (Maroon 5, Usher, One Direction). The album will be the first release on "Mr Kanani," Savan Kotecha's imprint on Syco Music released through Columbia Records.
