CD Review for
Empire Of One:
At first glance, Empire of One seems like the type of band that could easy be
seen on the Top 40 charts of today. Even though you will be sure to see them
there one day, they go much deeper than that. The first track off of their
self-titled EP “Empire of One”, evokes visions of national bands like Theory of
a Dead Man and U2. However ‘If I Let Myself Dream’ has an unexpected ska vibe to
it that is very pleasant to hear. The second track entitled ‘Roam’ is a longing
ballad featuring hopeful guitar parts and emotional vocals. This track is
definitely one to check out. The EP ends with ‘I’m Still Here’, a catchy,
alternative tune that highlights the feel of the album. The song’s despairing
lyrics are offset by rhythmic, upbeat guitar parts. Which is a very refreshing
way to wrap up this EP.
Empire of One has a
sound all their own. They have created and EP of songs with big name influences
you’ll definitely recognize. Their melodies and lyrics could transverse any
boundary. This is one band that would be sure to turn heads in any bar.
