Emor: Rome Upside Down is the only EP by Les Savy Fav, released in 2000. It was released by Southern Records.

It marks a turning point in the band's sound, partially due to the departure of former guitarist Gibb Slife. Synths and more angular line-driven guitar work expand on the already established punk from their two previous albums, 3/5 and The Cat and the Cobra.
