South West 5 piece EMPIRE will be releasing their dynamic, debut mini album ‘Where The World Begins’ on October 14th, through the bands own Lightside Records. EMPIRE will also be giving away lead track (and first single) ‘Black Hearts’ as a free download from the bands Facebook page on October 7th.
The lyrically inventive and mature debut features song topics varying from dealing with pressure and judgement (‘ All The Rage’), being in a relationship with the wrong person (‘Black Hearts’), questioning optimism (‘My Colour Optimistic’), friends terrible decisions (‘Foolish Friends’) and not trusting your instincts (‘The Smart Boy Regime’). Front-man Joe Green’s immense and soulful vocal is such a dominant force on the music of EMPIRE, it recalls some of the rock greats, from Freddy Mercury to Cedric Bixler-Zavala (The Mars Volta/ATD-I), Chris Cornell to Corey Glover (Living Colour).
