Lemuria has recently released their "The First Collection" EP compilation and the LP, "Get Better". On October 27, 2009, the band released their new single "Ozzy", and have been continuously touring across both Canada and the United States.
A press release on April 19, 2010 by Boston based "hardcore" label, , stated that Lemuria had signed to the Bridge 9 record label.
Lemuria was first established in the summer of 2004 by drummer/vocalist , guitarist/vocalist , and bassist . The trio began writing songs and released a 5 song , recorded at , which started a long term relationship with engineer Doug White. After a handful of shows, and the release of the (now rare) Lemuria demo, the group parted ways with Adam, and in March 2005, stepped in to join on bass.
The lineup of Lemuria featuring Alex, Sheena, and Jason went on to record many singles, splits, and 7" records. The majority of the early releases, including the demo, s/t 7", Lemuria/Frame split, AOTU Single Series, and 'You're Living Rooms All Over Me', were all released (or co released) by Art Of The Underground, an indie record label owned and operated by Alex Kerns.
In 2007, after many years of an intense, yet successful touring schedule, the band remarked that never recording a full length album had given them time "to grow and to "find our sound."" The band once again returned to and began working on their first record, later titled 'Get Better' and released on . Lyrically, with the exception of the songs written by Sheena and Jason, the album took a much darker tone than previous works, as many of Alex Kern's lyrics were written dealing with the recent passing of his father. Musically, however, the songs were bright and 'uplifting' as a result of the band and Alex's attitude. All these things led to and helped in titling the record 'Get Better'.
The band began to tour on headlining bills as well as on tour packages. In the fall of 2007, Lemuria went on their first European tour, followed by the release of 'Get Better' in 2008 and continued extensive touring throughout the US (Perhaps most notably featured on the Asian Man Records tour in 2008 alongside , , and .) as well as Puerto Rico, the UK, and Canada. Lemuria also became a regular at the based festival, , playing for the first time in 2006 and continuing to play every year since. When asked about their touring schedule, members of the band often express an affinity for the lifestyle;
“We're on tour a lot. It's one of the reasons we do the band. It's an excuse to travel. You go to a different city every day and show people your art.”In the Fall of 2009, Alex and Sheena parted ways with Jason, who went on to concentrate on his other project, . Kyle Paton stepped in and the band continued to tour, though song writing became the responsibility more so of the duo of Kerns/Ozzella. The band continued to write and be active, and in April 2010 announced that they had signed to . Signing to the Bridge 9 label, traditionally releasing albums for bands such as and , brought up many questions for both Lemuria as well as Bridge 9 as to the future of the two entities. Across the board, the response seemed to be that the band was going to continue developing in their own way, and the record label was broadening their horizons. In July, 2010, Lemuria made another big change and went in to record their debut full length for the label with in Baltimore, MD at Magpie Cage.
During the mixing process of this recording session, Kyle Paton ran into legal issues at the Canadian border (being a Canadian citizen), and as a result had to part ways with the band. In order to perform a show scheduled for later that week, Lemuria added the new Bass player Max Gregor, who flew up from Texas and began rehearsing in the studio. The lineup of Kerns/Ozzella/Gregor has continued to tour and perform one off shows since that time.
It was recently announced, along with the release of the digital single, 'Chautauqua County', that the Album recorded during this session would be titled 'Pebble', and has a release date of 1/11/11. Lemuria is also set to play a month of headlining shows to correspond with the release, and has live performance plans scheduled through early 2011.
On December 5, 2012, the band stepped into studio and began recording its third full length studio album.
