Every Mother's Nightmare (EMN) is a Heavy Metal band formed in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1987 by vocalist Rick Ruhl and guitarist Steve Malone. Bassist, Mark McMurty, and drummer, Jim Phipps, completed the lineup. EMN blended blues, metal, and southern rock for their sound. Before moving to Nashville, Rick Ruhl spent his formative teenage years in the West Knoxville area (Concord Tn.) where he was most likely influenced by that area's local garage rock bands (featuring Bruce Watkins, Kevin Morgan and Eddie Francis.)

[edit] Career

EMN's career ended as quickly as it started. With the label-signing frenzy of the late '80's of hard rock/metal bands, EMN benefited and gained some minor success. However, just as quickly, they were swallowed up in the even-larger signing frenzy of grunge and Nirvana.

They reached their biggest success with the single, 'Love Can Make You Blind,' which reached #22 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks.

EMN still enjoys a local following in the Memphis and Nashville music scene.
