• Originally from Dublin, Ireland, FRIENDS OF EMMET (F.O.E.) are now based in Los Angeles, CA. We'll be releasing our debut single Coming Apart in Ireland July 9th. All proceeds from the Irish Sales will go to Console/1 Life. The band will appear on several high profile T.V shows to coincide with the release. The song “Coming Apart” is a tribute to Kevin Hines Kevin Hines (HBO’s The Bridge), who attempted suicide at the age of 19 and survived jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Hines is one of the few to ever survive the suicide plunge from 245 feet above the water and is now an advocate for several suicide prevention organizations. Upon hearing about Hines’ story, the band found themselves inspired by the turn of events and wrote “Coming Apart” in his honour. The video for the track was filmed on location in downtown Los Angeles & also features Kevin Hines. The video was featured on CBS Sunday Morning in October 2010 as part of a Suicide Prevention segment featuring Kevin Hines and “S.A.V.E.” (Suicide Awareness Voices of Education). Mark Leddy (Vocals) has also performed three songs at the Yahoo! Music headquarters in Santa Monica, CA.
