EMPIRE

Straight-talking Birmingham boys Empire aren’t in music to mess around, they’re in it to take over. Armed with no more than their musical instincts, determination (and a guitar or two), the lads have been conquering the Midlands music scene since mid-2010. It's this determination that sees the promising four-piece continue to deliver an animated array of anthems and charming guitar music. At live shows expect classic pop melodies, gritty guitar, a big dollop of stage presence and a genuine vibe from an honest band. Set to release their debut EP in early 2012, everything seems to be going right for this band at the moment; bringing guitar music back in more ways than one.

“Great songs, energetic and on the road to undoubted success"

Neil Hannon, The Divine Comedy
