There is a brand stinkin’ new band about to take the indie pop punk scene by storm. In the demise of his old band, Stillframe Sky, lead vocalist and guitarist Tyler James, along with another Stillframe Sky alum Johnny Riot, quickly scooped up a few like-minded individuals in Jess Scutella (drums) and T-Woody (bass) to form a new band titled RadioEmpire.

Citing the likes of Muse, Weezer, and Mae as some of their biggest influences, RadioEmpire just announced that their debut show will be in Erie, Pennsylvania on March 14th at Forward Hall, opening up for some pretty big nationally renowned indie pop-punk bands such as The Wonder Years, Mandy K, and In the Day.

Along with the announcement came the worldwide debut of three songs off their upcoming album, titled “Memories pt. II” (a spiritual sequel to an old Stillframe Sky song), “Tour Song” (about the hardships of touring whilst in the indie scene), and a call-out to the hypocrisy of many religious folks titled “Untitled (If I Showed Up at Your Door).” It’s catchy pop-punk at its finest, particularly “Tour Song” which I enjoy more and more each time I listen to it. I highly look forward to their album’s release and I’ll be front row at their debut show, which is only about half an hour from where I’m located.

Do check out their official MySpace, songs included, right here – because mark my words, you’ll be hearing them on the radio before long and then you can snobbishly put your nose in the air and proclaim to your friends, “Yeah, I knew of them before their first album was even released. Poser.”
