Gunnar Emmerhoff has been writing, performing and releasing heart-felt melodic rock music in his native Norway since 1996. His first release was a self-financed solo offering before the band formed and became Emmerhoff and the Melancholy Babies. They are about to release the astonishingly accomplished full lengther If This Darkness Lingers, their second LP for Bauta, in the UK. Already released to critical acclaim in their homeland (and going top 40 in the process), the album is set to make more than a dent here in 2004.
