Sydney's New Empire Ink Deal With Shock Records

Sydney rock foursome New Empire have signed a deal with Shock Records for their third album release.

The band will officially unveil In A Breath on Friday 18 April via the label - it is the follow-up to their 2011 LP Symmetry. They debuted with Come With Me Tonight in 2008.

Shock Records underwent a major staff restructure in 2013, signing a number of indie locals in the process including Sydney punks Bloods and Newcastle rock band Seabellies.

New Empire are managed by Eva Alexiou-Reo and booked locally through The Harbour Agency.
