About this Event
Empire of Lights (Live)
From the depths of the countryside in mid-Wales Empire of Lights is a blistering hot power trio combining thunderous drums, deep bass, searing guitars and soaring vocals. Formed in 2018, they have racked up hundreds of thousands of streams on YouTube, Soundcloud, and Spotify.
“Empire of Lights makes you want to go on an intergalactic adventure in ‘Chasing Stardust’. The track combines classic psychedelic tones with modern indie rock to propel you through the stratosphere.” — The Other Side Reviews
“Empire of Lights utilise vivid storytelling in their lyrics as they paint a detailed celestial picture in the mind of the listener. This otherworldly imagery and prog rock sensibility brings to mind the work of Pink Floyd.” — RGM
“Small towns in Wales seem to regularly turn up superb melodic rock bands, and Empire of Lights – with their new single ‘Hit The Highway’ is no exception to that rule. Sparse, echoey guitar, pounding drums, and driving bass are the order of the day here; there’s a gothy vibe to the music, a feel of ‘The Forest’ or ‘Jumping Someone Else’s Train’-era Cure, mixed with Johnny Borrell Razorlight vocals from singer John Aziz.” — A&R Factory
