Light Rides the Super Major

As the latest one-hit-wonders change on the front pages like a revolving door, what is to be said of who remains? Built as a collaborative unit that has seen growth and evolution over their past few years, Up The Empire challenges genres and brings light to the ideals of a band based on passion integrity, and conguity. So now that you're thinking of every band du jour, stop! Turn a 180, and prepare to rock out to the thick sounds of a heavy driving rhythm section, furious guitar tracks and as many as three or four earnest voices at a time. Just when you thought you could dance a little and assuredly state that Up The Empire is defiantly noise-pop, the quartet prove that the title of rock is more appropriate with their aggressive, gritty rhythms.
