Young Empires with Wild Things, American Low, Humble Braggers Young Empires are a new Canadian 3-piece that has garnered international critical acclaim and since their inception in October 2009. NME Magazine compared Young Empires' sound to the likes of The Killers, Arcade Fire, Yeasayer, and Foals. Defined by swirling synthesizer tones, fervent bass rhythms, and soulful guitar licks, Young Empires deliver fresh, yet distinguished dance tracks full of swagger, sexuality, and occasionally a little angst.A long with music blogs, Young Empires have also been well-received in the fashion world including a feature in Dazed & Confused Magazine.

Their home demo recordings have charted on FM4 Radio (Germany) and two separate homedemos have reached the top 15 on HypeMachine's charts; a feat that earned them a spot on the HypeMachineshowcase at CMJ this year.With their debut EP, Wake All My Youth, dropping in early 2012 on Pirates Blend Records Young Empires are poised to deliver on many reviewers predictions as one of the top new artists to watch.
