Download Up The Empire - It's Alright (For Now) (MP3)

Brooklyn's Up The Empire has a new EP, Loose Ends, coming out on Tuesday and the band is playing a CD release show at The Mercury Lounge on Wednesday with Ford & Fitzroy and The Bon Savants.

Loose Ends is the first set of new material since the band went to a three-member lineup following 2007's Light Rides The Super Major. The four tracks on the new EP are melodic, neo-psychedelic guitar-rock, which contain elements reminiscent of The Church and U2. Fittingly, Up The Empire closes the EP with a cover of Dinosaur Jr.'s "Feel The Pain", which has been a part of the band's live set for the past year or so.

Up the Empire's new disc will be available through The Cougar Label's online store starting on Tuesday and you can also pick up a copy at Wednesday's show. Tickets for the Mercury Lounge show are $10 and Up The Empire take the stage at 11PM.

Don't skip Ford & Fitzroy's set (they play at 9PM) as they have a great new disc, Canyons (which was also released on The Cougar Label).
