Uncontainable and unabashed, Empire Alley breaks away from the current tidal wave of dreary, indistinguishable indie-rock bands. It isn’t Empire Alley’s current radio play or recent spotlight in music columns across Canada that makes them the band to watch. It’s the dance-your-ass-off high energy live shows that have fans pining for Empire Alley.
Echoing the sounds of Bloc Party, Spoon & Arctic Monkeys, Empire Alley’s brand of indie-rock invokes images of dancing, sweating fans singing along with the band. No wonder, because the bands latest release is made up of six gems that are sure to leave your head bobbing and feet moving.
Having been friends for over 20 years the members of Empire Alley share more than just the bonds of musical brotherhood. Since officially forming the band in 2006 Empire Alley has placed first in the Absolut Vodka/Factory Studios Battle of bands, sold over 1000 copies of their debut EP, sold out shows across Western Canada, have been featured on 99.3 The Fox and most recently have made it into the TOP 20 in Fox's Seeds Competition.
Throughout 2008 Empire Alley, four childhood friends, will be touring the nation.
