Empires - Howl

New Music Xperience is proud to introduce, "Empires," a break out band from Chicago, Illinois. Behind the voice of Sean Van Vleet (lead voacalist), the Empires are a five piece band who are stirring up the indie scene with their debut album, "Howl." The band consists of lyricist and songwriter, Sean Van Vleet, lead guitarist, Max Steger, bassist and back-up vocalist, Alfred Smith, drummer, Ryan Luciani, and rhythm guitarist, Tom Conrad. Together these five individuals have joined to create one of the most enjoyable alternative rock albums we've heard in a while.

"Howl" is a 15 track LP that shows off the groups indie-rock roots and has potential to rock the alternative music scene. The album provides listeners with clever instrumentals and interesting lyrics which are enjoyable to say the least. "Howl" draws influences from artists such as Queen, the Police, Blur, the Pixies & Nirvana. The band vocals sound similar to Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, where the instrumentals have more of an alternative rock feel, comparable to Big City Rock, Collective Soul, and The Panic Division. Head over to their bandcamp website to stream and download their album free!
