Here are a few ways that Million Empire's music has been described-
"anthems mixed with ballads, and the band (quite frankly) playing the shit out of their instruments with relentless and intoxicating skill, leaving the crowd breathless by the end, but with a hunger to experience the addictive pleasure all over again. The guy next to me summed it up in one word - wow!"
"Make it your quest to experience the calibre of Million Empire!"
Having had the pleasure of witnessing Million Empire before, I was still in wonder of their performance. I appreciate I may be a little bias as they are one of my favourite local bands, but they truly are awesome. Can I repeat that? Awesome!
Million Empire deliver every time, and I suspect that this coming year will be theirs. Get to see them quick before posters with their name on have 'sold out' printed across them.
*Meriel Flavell - Ryans Gig Guide*
"Their music is difficult to classify but impossible to ignore. Think of a central position between Trent Reznor's lyrical introversy, Tool's wierd shit, Placebo's melodic sensibilities and Muse's apocalyptic nightmare."
*Matt486*
"Their set is a fabulous mixture of schizophrenic dynamics, from quiet sobriety to modern infused rock. They are the illegitimate love-child of Muse and At The drive-in"
*Andy Crawford - The Amp*
"Million Empire are like the four leaf clover. You spend all your time searching for it, but never know if what your looking for really exists, but you know that if it does you've hit the jackpot."
*Write up your Street*
