DESCRIPTION:
Empires (Max Steger, Sean Van Vleet, Tom Conrad, and Mike Robinson) have such a distinct sound I don't know whether to tell you they sound like The National meets [insert alt rock band here] or simply just say it's quality alt/indie-rock blended with subtle 1980s tones. Let's go with the latter. The band recently discussed touring, their new albums, and even Star Wars on asidesmusic.com's live session filmed at the Music Conservatory of Westchester. They also performed a pair of tracks. Filmed by Sam Cooperman

About A-Sides with Jon Chattman:
Jon Chattman’s music series features celebrities and artists (established or not) from all genres performing a track, and discussing what it means to them. This informal series focuses on the artist making art in a low-threatening, extremely informal (sometime humorous) way. No bells, no whistles — just the music performed in a random, low-key setting followed by an unrehearsed chat. In an industry where everything often gets overblown and over manufactured, Jon strives for a refreshing change.
