Echoes of Empire confronts the listener with progressive rock anthems, often drawing from other genres. Bombastic and without reservation, EoE delivers the fullest possible sound, minus the abrasive aftertaste. EoE rose from the ashes of Madison rock outfit Grandstand. After some rearrangement and the addition of lead guitarist Jasun Karner and drummer Tom Dilworth, as well as alto sax/percussion player Drew Longmire and trumpet player/dj Matt Hughes, the group has been writing new material and is getting ready to embark upon a busy summer touring schedule throughout Wisconsin and the Midwest. The highly energetic and relentlessly dance-able live performances of EoE have demonstrated clearly to audiences that this 7-piece group has a degree of professionalism, musicality, and over-the-top theatrics rare among both local and national acts. What can only be described as "beyond-epic," must be seen to be believed.
