Southern California punk outfit EMPIRED return with their explosive sophomore album Strikes Back, out now via HEY!FEVER RECORDS. Following last year’s Finding Calm in the Chaos, the new LP captures the band at full throttle—razor-sharp, road-tested, and ferociously alive. To celebrate, EMPIRED will embark on their first European tour with labelmates Heartwells from November 13–24, booked by City Rat Booking. Expect raw, sweaty, and defiant live shows that define the spirit of DIY punk. Strikes Back is available now on all digital streaming platforms.
