“
Some of the band’s most vulnerable ballads (“Gift of Asylum,” “Hold On,” “Stunned”) have been left off albums in the past, but Steger says the second single off Garage Hymns will be a slowed-down version of the song “Shame,” which has been floating around in various forms since 2007 and remains a fan favourite at live shows.
“The vibe [of ‘Shame’] is very haunting and beautiful at the same time,” says Steger. “It took us a while to finally find the right way to present it as a full band.”

FEATURE BAND: Empires - Interview with Ryan Luciani -
”What’s really great about us is that we all kind of have creative things to bring to the table; photography, film, and I think that that really helps. We all work together that way. With the music industry now a lot of it is just working your way from the bottom up so it’s definitely hard but you have to do as much as you can on your own. Practice, go out and play shows and if it isn’t good go home and practice and do it again until it is.”
