about

"Empire" is an homage to the mid-90s cult classic, Empire Records.

lyrics

What’s with you today?
What’s with today today?
I’ve got to tell her I love her by 1:37
We mustn't dwell, no not today

I don’t regret the things I’ve done
But those I did not do

Damn the man, save the empire
Damn the man, save the empire

Why don’t you all just fade away
I guess nobody really has it all together
Do you think this story is already written
Or could a courageous act change the course of history

Damn the man, save the empire
Damn the man, save the empire
Damn the man, save the empire
Damn the man, save the empire

Midnight…
Midnight…

Damn the man, save the empire (Damn the man, save the empire)
Damn the man, save the empire (Damn the man, save the empire)
Damn the man, save the empire (Damn the man, save the empire)
Damn the man, save the empire (Damn the man, save the empire)
Damn the man, save the empire (Damn the man, save the empire)
Damn the man, save the empire (Damn the man, save the empire)
Damn the man, save the empire (Damn the man, save the empire)
Damn the man, damn the man

Dear Daria Washington, D.C.

Dear Daria is a brightly-colored swirl of power pop, indie rock, alt-rock, and pop punk. Frontwoman Maryjo Mattea says “it's like if Lennon and McCartney grew up in the 90s”. ... more
