Date published: 30th Apr 2017

"Brighton boys, Of Empires, perform with raw energy and perfected showmanship, with frontman Jack leading the band through a seamlessly sharp set of soft-edged rock and roll.

An intrinsically cool collective of very in-sync musicians, this new-age rock band are set on ruffling up a few chart-pop feathers with their contemporary take on the genre. Silky smooth guitars blended with hypnotic drum beats and baselines, with a real Arctic Monkeys-meet-Stone Roses vocal lead that slinked up and down with charismatic confidence and a hint of classic Americana twang.

Kicking off with new single, See You With The Angels Kid, the foursome were captivating, with Jack striding into the audience, jumping up on speakers and falling to his knees in moments of pure melodic passion. Of Empires are refreshing and bold, and with a killer monochrome aesthetic and on-trend 80's fashion style, they're sure to follow former Brighton icons into the spotlight.

The guys chatted with us before their headline show at The Monarch."
