Peach Club is the fifth studio album by American rock band Emarosa. The album was released on February 8, 2019, through Hopeless Records and was produced by Courtney Ballard. It serves as a follow-up to the band's fourth studio album, 131 (2016) and shows the band's venture towards pop, synth-pop, and pop rock elements, further departing from their early post-hardcore and alternative rock sound.
The lead single, "Givin' Up", was released on November 16, 2018. The second single, "Don't Cry", was released on January 8, 2019.[7] Two more singles, "Cautious" and "Get Back Up", were released to promote the album. In support of the album, the band toured with other groups such as Hands Like Houses and Set It Off and embarked on a headlining 2019 tour.
It is the band's first album to feature bassist Robert Joffred and also the final album released by the band through Hopeless Records, who appear to have dropped the band following allegations that surfaced against vocalist, Bradley Walden.[8]
