From Austin, Texas. Band name refers to a nightclub called Emo's. Active years and release span noted in reviews run approximately 1994–2001. Black Hellicopters (1998) described as absurd, humorous and lo-fi; frontman Russel Porter uses vocal modifiers producing a 'pseudo-burp' effect.

A mixed, amused review of Austin punk/hard-rock band Fuckemos. Black Hellicopters (1998) is described as perplexing, absurd and entertaining rather than serious. Russel Porter’s vocal effects (a continuous pseudo-burp) are repeatedly noted. Recommended for listeners seeking irreverent, lo-fi amusement rather than polished songwriting.
