And, from Jennifer:
- Empires, scrappy little band of my heart, has a shot at being the first unsigned band to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. They are from Chicago, and when I last discussed them on NTSIB , I described them as a “punch drunk love affair” and that description is still true. Their sound is big and raw and sexy and, basically, rock and roll at its finest.
Please, NTSIBbers, go and vote for them here at Rolling Stone, and then feel free to pass the link around.
This is a video for “Hello Lover”, their latest single:
Jennifer, I want to thank you for turning me on to Empires, I listened to BANG so many times from their website and then finally just bought the download, something I’ve never done. I still haven’t gotten tired of that record.
OH and I like the new and revamped site! It looks FABULOUS! And yay for easy commenting…
Rooster – I’m so glad you like them! They are truly the Little Band That Could. And they rock. Glad you like our new website, too! Also, my apologies for not replying until now, I missed this comment somehow . . .
