Tour is over

Unfortunately our tour is over, but we look back at it with a smile! We had a blast.

We'd like to thank everybody who came to a show, or was involved in any other way, and all the bands we've played with. Though we'd like to thank some people personally:

Dave for driving us and being a beunhaas, Soey, Jack Holmes, PieterB/Aloys, Max/de Plu, 7 Years Bad Luck, PMK, Puddel, Babsi/Tony, Cis/OHO, Gilles/Squat Du Desert, Nico/Le Rivoli Bar, Anthony/Le Pixi, Michael, Sander (+ family) and Daan/JC de Bogaard, Rock De IJmond, Cafe Lokaal.

Some more pics / stories might come up soon.

Tour starts today!

We'll be off on tour for the next 12 days or so. Bye!

Tour!

Tour starts next week. We can't wait.

We are still looking to fill Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th anywhere in Austria, Northern Italy, (South) East France, Switzerland, Slovenia, and maybe even Slovakia (Bratislava). If you can help please let us know and we will be forever grateful.

Newspaper / Translated

We've been featured in the local newspaper, Noord-Hollands Dagblad, today. A nice piece on our band and our friends Translated. Hopefully we can let you read the article soon.

In the same newspaper, but in the Plug Out section, a review of our new album has been placed. This one you can read online, here (in Dutch).

More about Translated; they will release their debut EP "Don't Wave Your White Flag" Tuesday September 13th on North Empire Records. Listen to it here and order it here. The release party for the record will be on the same date as the release in Cafe Lokaal, Heemskerk, with Austrian punks Soey.

Stream our album

Besides the stream over at punknews.org you can now also stream the album over at our bandcamp profile. We'll put it up as a download soon!

New Webstore

We've got a new webstore online. Check it out over here and get yourself some new Sweet Empire gear!

New date for release show

We have a new date for our release show: Wednesday September 14th. The party will be at Kafee Aloys, Eindhoven. We will be playing with Soey, who we will join on tour afterwards, and Anvery.

Come down!

Release show cancelled!

Due to some miscommunication at the venue our release show for tomorrow has been cancelled. We're really bummed out about this and we apologize to anyone who had plans on coming to the show. We hope to have a new date for our release show soon!

Stream + Release Show

Punknews.org is streaming the entire new album for you! Have a listen.

Moon & Back already posted a review of the album: click.

Also our release show is coming up this Saturday. You'd better get yourself over to Onderbroek, Nijmegen, NL to join the party. Let us know you're going to be having a blast with us on Facebook.

Here's a great flyer by Sander - Translated.

This Season Needs Torches is out today!

We're super excited 'cause our new album "This Season Needs Torches" will be out today!

Tonight we'll play a show in Winston, Amsterdam (w/ Swingin Utters, Sidewalk) at which you can get the album on vinyl.

Coming Saturday will be the official release show at Onderbroek, Nijmegen (w/ Long Way Down, Translated). Everything will be available at that show; CD, vinyl, t-shirts, and all that sort of crap.

If you won't be coming to any of those shows you can get your copy here.
