Is Emile Hirch, you know, international film star Emile Hirch, really the frontman of “hot new music project,” Emil & Friends? That’s the question that’s been puzzling minds and resulting in many sleepless night since we first received a cryptic email regarding the band earlier this month. At that time, we were skeptical - I mean seriously, who writes in a press email, “consider yourself honored to have received a personal email from a star of my caliber”? - but the included mp3s and tour dates did leave us thinking. What if?

Fast forward a few weeks and we have our answer, and well, color us gullible. As we discovered from the latest email from Emil & Friends, Mr. Hirsch is not at all affiliated with the outfit, but instead just “using” them:

So without any further ado, Emil & Friends has nothing to with Emile Hirsch. That was actually the actor attempting to take credit for music he did not create to make his career a little edgier and attract young hipster women. Emil & Friends is comprised of one 23-year old, production-wizard/musician named Emil.

Can you blame him? Who would want to attract “young hipster women”?

Alright, so in reality, it’s nothing more than a nice attempt at self-promotion, but we got to give Emil & Friends props for innovation.

As we go on to learn, the 23-year old, production-wizard/musician named Emil has been dabiling in the music world for quite a while, splitting time between production work on Buffalo Drive’s EP, Peter and His Chromatic Fantasy, purchasing a nice pair of Reebok high-tops, and overcoming his fear of singing.

Ok…

Anyhow, Emil promises more so stay tuned. Until then however, he’s provided us with another mp3 from his debut EP, Downed Economy.
