It appears that all the handles for the band I Am Empire have been re-lit and are active once again. Some posts have been made and one says a big announcement is coming this week. Maybe by the time this is written and posted, the announcement will be made? The band released several independent albums/eps before signing with Tooth & Nail and putting out “Kings” in 2011 then “Anchors” in 2013. What was your favorite IAE song? Who else is excited for their return?

I asked him about IAE and whether they’d ever come back together but he said they were all in different places and didn’t see it. Their relationships with one another were good though. It would be interesting now that Andrew’s time in… Read more »
