2009 is off to a roaring start for Audio Empire. With the "Northern Lights" tour wrapped up and a new video single in the works, the band is maintaining the momentum they built up in the second half of 2008.

The end result is polished, professional and radio-friendly, with enough grit and integrity to keep heads bobbing and fists pumping. With the momentum continuing to grow, 2009 is definitely set to be The Year Of The Empire...
