I Am Empire

I Am Empire formed in the summer of 2008 when members, Austin Lyons (vocals), Andrew Stanton (lead guitar), Dan Otis (Guitar), Joshua Case (bass/vocals) and Eric Martin (drums), began work on recording their full length self titled album.

The album is a ten song journey that shows the bands diversity and understading of songwriting. The first single "You're A Fake" is a hard hitting rock song that has made a huge radio impact since its release in April of 2009. Featuring hard hitting tone and smooth melodies the song has hit #6 on the CRW charts and #15 on the Billboard Christian rock charts. The song has also been featured on Live105's Soundcheck, hit #1 on Radio U's "Most Wanted List", and posted in the top 10 on Effect Radios Top 44, has been the #1 most requested song on the Spin180 in Texas, along with being in regular rotation at radio stations nationally. Aaron Axelson of Live105 featured I Am Empire in his "Top Ten Bay Area Bands".
