Empire! Empire! free week

2012-09-26 by dimsim3478 | 50 Comments
Michigan indie/emo duo Empire! Empire! (I was a lonely estate) have announced via Facebook that for the next seven days, their complete discography will be available for pay-what-you-want (including free) download from Bandcamp. The motion was granted from a contest response (the contest runs from until midnight on the 25th of September; see the band's Facebook for details) which required five-hundred shares of the official contest status in order to unlock free downloads on Empire's Bandcamp page.

The Bandcamp page features a whopping eighteen releases from the group, including their full-length studio album What It Takes to Move Forward, two full-length compilations, several promotional EPs and an abundance of split EPs. The downside, however, is that the band is not licensed to release tracks from the other bands featured on split EPs, leaving these releases incomplete.

Visit the band's Bandcamp page for the downloads:

I already knew these guys were the coolest people on Earth. This makes them some form of musical demi-gods.

it sucks that when you download the splits you don't get the songs from the other bands.

How is that dumb? You just expect those bands' labels to jump on board with the contest?

You can't force other bands to give up their shit for free, numbnuts.

well that probably depends on the contract, but either way that doesn't mean i can't be disappointed that it's not included in the download.

He's getting a product for free and he is still complaining. I mean what the hell?

and i can't be incorrect (or correct either for that matter) because all i did was state an opinion.

"we both know you're just going to agree with whoever isn't me."

thats not even remotely true
if you didnt always act like a dumb fuck and have terrible opinions maybe id agree with you

someguest is correct here
just because the bands are on empire's label doesn't mean empire has permission to use the band's music
youre bitching and whining abuot not getting like 3 or 4 songs from other bands when you could easily find them on the internet so shut the fuck up and let the adults talk

someguest i briefly mentioned that i was disappointed that the whole split wasn't included. you're the
one who made this into a thing.

these guys either need to stop making music or start changing it up a bit. every song they release is exactly the same as the last one.

auberginedreams

well indie emo is a pretty specific subgenre so obviously the songs are going to sound similar, but i think they do a good job of writing stuff that isn't just a rehash of their previous work. most of their releases have a fairly distinct sound when compared to each other.

@auber i can't tell one song from another anymore. they all sound the same. genres are used as a general way of categorizing a band, not as a criteria within a band must strive to fit. heaven forbid they use a chord or rock out once in a while.

Not every band has to change on every record to be good, just look at NOFX
