*** Emergency Service is a New York City based band with music that fuses the relaxed vibes of reggae, the consciousness of hip hop, the rhythm and groove of funk, and the energy of the city they call home.
Singer songwriter Sammy G and lyricist Aureliam joined forces in 2005 and began creating unique, thought-provoking songs that they first started playing as a duo around the New York City open mic scene. After receiving an extremely positive reception, the two embarked on a mission to create a full band that could bring an explosive live show and add musical depth to their sound. They brought in trumpet, drums, bass and keys, and with that, the band collectively known as ‘Emergency Service’ was born. Over the past three years the band has been playing and headlining many of the premiere venues in New York City and around the Northeast, developing a strong following and base of fans that love the energy and originality of a music that can’t fit into one genre. In the summer of 2006, Emergency Service came together to record their first full-length album ‘This Emergency...’ as an independent release. Their new EP "The Better Days" was released in June of 2008.
Emergency Service has opened for a number of nationally and internationally touring acts in the past year, including Groundation, Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise, Matt White and SOJA among others. The band continues to play frequently in NYC and around the East Coast, with the goal of bringing their music and their message to as many people as they can... ***
