A little history and what the whole thing is about:

Full-on Swedish Indie-Rock! Sing-along anthems and blood-boiling, proper rock songs. All rolling around in your head with a touch of blues. Heavy rhythmic beats and the distinctly memorable vocals underlined by an engaging acoustic guitar add that extra touch that makes the music quite special.

The band is centred around singer and songwriter Toby who formed it in late 2006. Nate joined soon after on bass and Sal took a seat behind the drums in early 2008. Since then the independent band, whose members take their music and obligation to their fans very serious, is constantly being engaged in either recording, rehearsing or touring.

During the last three years The Fallen Empires have been featured on TV and radio and have played over sixty live shows, among many other places, in Berlin, Hamburg, London and Birmingham.
They recorded their debut album "As of Yet..." as early as 2008, followed, in 2009, by recordings on the Dragonfly EP which was released on the Internet (Itunes, Amazon, Napster, etc) in January 2010. Together with fans the band celebrated during the Dragonfly-release concert in Malmö, Feb2010
Since autumn 2010 had been working on a full 12-track album, which has been released in June, 2011.
Also in 2011: the band's music was featured in three Estée Lauder/Aveda ad-videos for the Mercedes Benz fashion week in Berlin . The only singer-songwriter tune on the new album, "Coins and Sorrow", has been featured in a charity video (for videos, see Youtube).

June 2011: Nate and Sal have left the band to pursue their own goals in music and other fields.
Rest assured, that the band lives on and will return to the stage with new members soon!

Stay tuned for more news and enjoy the new album!

"My idea of it is to keep good genuine rock music alive, to pick up where lots of other bands have left it. We add to rock's history our own touch, our take on it...We are surely influenced mostly by the great ones of now and then, like Oasis, LedZep, the Stones, the Beatles, Hendrix and bands like Stereophonics, BRMC or Flogging Molly - but my personal influences reach deeper into the sphere of singer-songwriters as Dylan, David Gray, Richard Ashcroft and even as far as folk music.
I think you can hear that we are not aiming to imitate - there are enough bands who do that - but paying hommage to our past once in a while. Trying to create real, genuinely good music and then to get people to love it, that's where the true challenge is met." -Toby

In times of casting-shows and 'fast-food' pop The Fallen Empires are a reminder of what a Rock'n'Roll band should be all about - the music.

For those who still care about what they're listening to: We play the music we love. We write the music we play. It's as simple as that. See you at the concerts!
