Biography
So... it's been a few months out here in Athens GA, and we're all changing. The Empties are in search of a new drummer. Daniel has left the band on good terms and his friendship will be severely missed. So, if anyone plays drums, or has a friends or a brother or something who plays drums, throw them our way. We're going to move on beyond this and come back strong.
Love,
ben, matt and joshua aaron lewis
I leave the young throng at Nuis Space to plumb the depths of newly local four-piece pop-rock group The Empties at Tasty World. Almost instantly, Im drawn to the solo, as well as three-part-harmony vocal strength, of this guitar band that isnt averse to throwing a sha-la-la chorus in with the retro-inspired surf rock before moving on to darker, harder, emo-rock from the land between The Killers and Franz Ferdinand. In fact, the band reminds me quite a lot of the local three-headed pop-rock love child Monster Zero. The Empties are proving to be full to the brim with high energy and captivating pop with a great depth of melody. While the band spans the spectrum from moody, slightly introspective, contemporary pop to a full-on party rock band that can mix it up without a hint of cheese or insincerity, it creates loads of danceably clean, hard, great-sounding fun.
