Pop Killers, the latest album by Empires, is an electrifying collection of tracks that showcases the band's growth and evolution. The Chicago-based group has always been known for their energetic, guitar-driven sound, but on Pop Killers, they take things to the next level.
The album kicks off with the explosive "Hostage," which sets the tone for what's to come. From there, the band dives headfirst into a series of high-energy rock songs that are both catchy and anthemic. Tracks like "Crazy Eyes" and "How Good Does It Feel" are sure to get crowds jumping and singing along.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Please Don't Tell My Lover," a slower, more introspective song that showcases lead singer Sean Van Vleet's emotive vocals. It's a nice change of pace from the rest of the album and shows that Empires can do more than just rock out.
Pop Killers is a strong album that will appeal to fans of alternative and indie rock. Empires have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into crafting these songs, and it shows in the final product. This is definitely an album worth checking out.
