How do you pronounce that band name?

About Me

Empyrean is a 4-piece pop/rock outfit that has been together for a little over 6 years. The band receives regular airplay on the local shows of Chicago stations Q101 (WKQX) & 94.7 Zone (WZZN) and has opened up for such signed acts as Kill Hannah, Ben Folds, Lucky Boys Confusion, Allister, Motion City Soundtrack, and Butch Walker (ex-Marvelous 3). The band's latest release "The Bus E.P." produced by Tadpole (Finger Eleven, Disturbed, Soil) currently has 5,000 copies circulating throughout Chicago and its suburbs, finding its way into the stereos and computers of anyone who is willing to listen.
