Empire! Empire! (I was a lonely estate)

So, it's been a while since last update. Empire! Empire! was introduced to me on Last FM by the label Count your lucky Stars, at first I was a bit weary as all labels are going to say 'this band is great!'. Alas i am eternally grateful to this man for telling me about Empire! Their albums have been on constant play since I first heard them, an amazing blend of Mineral-esq midwest emo, post-emo and some indie elements, incredible vocals, a true poet. It manages to be catchy and hold true to it's emo roots at the same time through the guitars and the lyrical content and styles.

I will simply say I am in love with this band.
