So apparently my hometown has its very own twinkly American Football wannabe band. I had been respectfully ignoring them for a long time. Not because of their overly long and slightly pretentious band name (yayy parentheses), but because I am utterly horrified at what emo coming from my own suburban rich kid town would sound like. But now they keep popping up in my field of vision, to the point where I have been forced to ignore them no longer. And hey, guess what? I was right, they're kinda bad. Maybe right for the wrong reasons, but still right nonetheless. Me - 1 Novi - 0

I like these guys. Nothing really new to the table, but who gives a fuck?

yeah, I've known about them for awhile, but don't really care for them too much. at least I don't remember caring about them. anyhow, Rubber, you should head over to Lansing July 9th to see Pianos and us play. thatd be cool.

hey rubber. my name is keith, i play guitar and sing in empire! empire! just wanted to clear up a misconception here- it's totally fine if you don't like our music, but we didn't grow up in novi. we moved here for our jobs. we are actually from fenton. haha, not that it should matter where we are from at all, but we certainly did not grow up rich. thanks for giving us a chance though. take care!

Wow, I have totally enjoyed everything they've released so far. Sure, they aren't the first band to play music in this vein, but, they're certainly up there with the best in my humble opinion.

haha sorry keith, I wasn't calling you guys rich kids, just commenting on the overall state of good ole Novi. keep releasing stuff and maybe my taste and your music will cross paths some day.

haha no i understand. i agree with you so i wanted to make a distinction. we have a new album coming out at the end of july/early august, so hopefully you will dig that. haha and yeah, we do love american football. i looked at your last fm and saw you liked algernon cadwallader, those guys are so awesome. have you heard snowing yet? it's ex-street smart cyclist.

to rage and sugarandspite, thanks for the kind words!

heck yeah!

oh dude I have **** Your Emotional Bull**** on constant rotation :D

they are coming to ohio on july 3rd. i am totally going! bummed they aren't playing in michigan. the july 4th show would be amazing in illinois, but i can't make it to that one. they are playing with castevet and reptilian.
