Expensive Sound is a landmark album from Empire, the innovative offshoot of punk legends Generation X. Originally released in 1981 and newly available from Munster Records in 2022, this influential record bridges the gap between post-punk, new wave, and the early sounds that would later define grunge. Its melodic grit and sharp energy left a lasting mark on both the ‘80s Washington D.C. hardcore and UK neo-psychedelic scenes.
This release captures Empire at their creative peak, blending driving guitars and urgent vocals with a fresh, experimental edge. Revered for its influence and timeless sound, Expensive Sound remains an essential listen for fans of rock’s most adventurous eras and those interested in the roots of alternative and punk music.
