Music: Young Empires

Good day to all those who wander!

If you are looking for new bands to gush all over before they become instantly famous then the Young Empires is ready to be gushed upon! This Canadian world beat haut rock band is more than ready to be known. Of course they are already known in Canada but for you Americans (like myself) who adore listening to foreign music, this is your band. Doubting how good they are, well they have been praised by NYLON magazine as well as Dazed and Confused. Their music has also appeared on Teen Wolf, Ringer, Jersey Shore, I Just Want My Pants Back, and NYLON TV, all featuring their singles: White Doves, We Don't Sleep Tonight, and Enter Through the Sun.

Their music falls under Indie Rock, Indie Dance, and electro. World beat is referenced to the Latin American and African percussion used in their music. Band member Jacob Palanhuk stated  "We're writing tracks that make you feel wealthy, attractive, powerful; a soundtrack to your haute life ". Their sound has also been compared to bands such as The Killers and Arcade Fire. They also have their own fashion line of T-shirts and sweatshirts. They are worth checking out, its impossible to believe they're not very famous, but don't worry, they soon will be. So hop aboard so you can say you were a fan from the start! Above is their music video for We Don't Sleep Tonight..


With much love,
Josie
