??!! Poll: What Is Awaken the Empire Afraid Of?

Posted by on Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 10:50 AM

This band is called Awaken the Empire:

It's scawee out dere!
  • Big Picture Media
  • It's scawee out dere!

They're from Hollywood. Their singer is named Damien, their bassist is named Jaymz (no, seriously, James with a y and a z) and they're (SHOCKINGLY) recommended for fans of the Used, 30 Seconds to Mars, and My Chemical Romance. Damien says: "If we were a movie it would be somewhere between Donnie Darko (dark, romantic, schizophrenic, sarcastic, funny, complex) and Inception (mysterious, powerful, hidden agenda, purposely confusing)."

Fine. Whatever. I've accepted that bands like this are going to exist forever. My only gripe: Why do you look so scared in your promo shot? Because you fear what the general public might say about your hair or the popped collar on your jacket? Is the photographer growling at you? Are you scared because it's so dark in the photo? Stop cowering!

So here's my question:

Hopefully the beat down they're going to receive from every punk and hardcore kid within 50 miles. SoCal doesn't really have the patience to deal with poseur bullshit. I should know because I got my ass kicked constantly when I lived there.

Someday they'll be so good that Radiohead will have to open for them.

The inevitable realization that each of them look like the other members in the band, and they aren't actually 'the cool one'.
