"empire! empire! (i was a lonely estate)" is a band on the move! This magnanimous quartet take each show on as a matter of the heart: passionate, moving, and honest. This summer, they are totally releasing their full length "What It Takes to Move Forward" on"Count Your Lucky Stars", mixed by Chris Common, of the legendary These Arms Are Snakes!
Read what the critics have been writing about the new 7-inch, "Year of the Rabbit":
“For a 7", I couldn’t think of a more perfect package. Empire! Empire! is likely to reel in quite the audience once the masses become more aware of their truly beautifully poignant voice in independent rock. Year of the Rabbit is a must-have for anyone who supports the revival that’s underway in the Midwest: a revival that refuses to allow the overlooked magnificence of the region’s predecessors die.”
“The band takes the best parts of indie, pop, and a touch of folk to make their own unique sound. I’m pretty sure Empire! Empire! are a name you’ll be seeing later.”
“Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) might employ an over the top use of punctuation in their egregiously long band name, but once their beautiful instrumentation hits your ears, it might not matter…a band worth keeping an ear on in the coming times.”
“From the first riff, I knew this quartet shared my love for mid-’90s emo. Few have rekindled this style with such grace and accuracy while still maintaining a fresh, unique approach.”
Here is what the critics had to say about their break-through ep, "When the Sea Became a Giant"
"Earnest and concordantly so, 'When the Sea Became a Giant' is an engrossing effort that powerfully plays with our nostalgia and unforced love of beauty"
"The beauty and honesty of their music is unsurpassed by many in today’s scene, you’re forced to listen to every note, your heart won’t let you pull away"
"These five songs have the striking ability to take you back in time to when the word emo meant something entirely different than what it has morphed into"
