DESCRIPTION: AGAINST EMPIRE was formed in the summer of 2000 when founding members Brian Levy and Lucien Loizu had come to the harsh realization that they had no friends and possibly forming a band might help them. Still no friends, a few line-up changes, and 5 years later Dylan Showalter saved them from themselves by officially joining in on bass duties thus elevating the band to it's current status of world domination and friend making.
