Empire Dogs: Love Attack (The First Time Records, 2007)
What's with the Swedish? They continue to produce music that's innovative, unique and smart. Maybe it's the fact that they have a society open to creativity or maybe its something in their water...the secret has produced the amazing Empire Dogs. Their new release, Love Attack, is almost impossible to categorize. On the first track, "Whole Lotta Love," the band channels the best of The Beatles with a touch of The Strokes. Pop oriented with layers of sound, the album is filled with strong vocals over extreme guitar riffs and driving drum beats. Sunkan Choi's vocals remind one of the young Paul McCartney while the guitar licks of Niklas Landberg and Gustav Vidlund, the drums of Erik Pihl and the bass of Stefan Svensson fill out the band's rock and roll edge.

According to press, Empire Dogs put on stellar live performances earning them the title of "Sweden's best live band." Combining the feel of the 60s with the essence of the present, Empire Dogs has created a great record. I'll be the first in line to see them perform in the U.S.
