Dallas-based Empiires delivers a dynamic brand hard-hitting modern rock and explosive live performances. Drawing from its members diverse musical backgrounds and individual styles, Empiires cultivated a gripping fusion of hard rock, alternative, and heavy metal.

Booker is backed by Kyle Garrison’s thunderous attack on the drums and the thick bass style of Matthew Gene. Guitarist, Darren Wise, layers on some razor-sharp guitar riffs that will stick inside your head long after the music stops. From electrifying musicianship to charismatic stage presence, Empiires is quickly establishing itself as the band to watch.
Empiires made its first appearance on the Billboard Charts in 2021 with hit single, “Through the Flames” (peaking at #19) and has subsequently returned to the charts with “Stronger” (peaking at #24) and “In this Moment” (debuting at #2). Rising popularity and increased exposure have provided the band opportunities to share the stage with notable rock veterans, such as 10 Years, Tantric, Warrant, and Brett Scallions of Fuel. Driven by passion and hungry for success, Empiires is focused on breaking through and taking their sound to the national stage.
