Holy Roman Empire
« on: 25 Dec 2006, 10:24 »
Should be given a listen. I'm a little in love with their singer's voice.

Anyway, that's my musical suggestion.

My musical suggestion is Clann Zu.  It's always Clann Zu.  It always will be.

If you are goiing to do a thread for a single name-drop, at least offer a description of the band and a link to some musics. Anything less is pretty much weak boarding.

I am not surprised that there is a band called the Holy Roman Empire. At this point it only makes me feel an elitist to history nerds in that it almost makes me cringe.


Be a little fucking creative, how about the Latin Empire or the Despotate of Epirus or something, at the very least.

I, for one, welcome the fragmentation of deeper levels of shared reality.

I'm pretty much a weak boarder, so it fits.

I don't really know anything about music except what I like and what I don't, so a description by me would be pretty uninformative.

"The Ace" is probably my favorite of those samples.

Really I'm not surprised. "The Holy Roman Empire" is a pretty ace band name.

Anyways, guys, the sound is very much alternative/punk. There's some cringey "look how awesome my guitar is" moments, but otherwise it sounds a little above average, which is good. Oddly enough a lot of the moments reminded me of the self-titled blink-182 album.

Oh, and the singer is a girl.


P.S. two things: one, i agree, "the ace" is the best track on there - but that's because they have, what, one album and this demo under their belt? so "the ace" is the sound of a band evolving which is always good to hear. two, not sure how well they'd do in the GIS game:

You can listen to her old band LongDistanceRuner (speaking of namedropping).  I can't find any links but whatever.

Well, maybe they really wanted to portray themselves as an agglomeration that is neither holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire?
