Empty Lungs are an alt-punk rock quartet based in Belfast. They played their first show in May 2011 since then they have released a 3 track single, music video and have received airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio Ulster and Dublin’s XFM. Their explosive live shows have seen them take to the road around Ireland and the UK and led to them sharing the stage with bands like THE SUBWAYS, DEAD TO ME, LEMURIA, CHEAP GIRLS, GENERAL FIASCO, JAPANDROIDS, FRANZ NICOLAY (the holdsteady), FIGHTING WITH WIRE, BEANS ON TOAST, BANGERS.

Their new EP entitled ”Stand Up” was recorded at Start Together Studios, Belfast and engineered, mixed and mastered by Rocky O’Reilly. It was produced by Rocky O’Reilly and Empty Lungs.

The self-released EP in association with Quarantine Collective was released digitally on the 16th February and physically on 23rd February 2013.

“STAND UP” EP , FULL STREAM: http://emptylungs.bandcamp.com/album/stand-up-ep

The ”Stand Up” EP is 6 tracks of passionate, hook driven, anthemic rock and roll. With a sound thats hard to pigeon hole it combines explosive punk rock and post-hardcore with 90’s indie rock and at times has echoes of folk and Americana. After its release the band plan to hit the road hard around Ireland, UK and Europe.

7/10 AU Magazine review “Stand up” EP http://iheartau.com/2013/02/empty-lungs-stand-up-ep/

”…The boys are in world beating form, they belt out the likes of ”Identity Lost” and ”Nothing Left To Lose” with a belief and passion that marks them out as one of the best unsigned acts on the island right now.”Edwin McFee, Hot Press Magazine.

‘’…I can now heartily recommend the band as a potent power trio with a rapidly expanding set of catchy yet crunchy tuneage. Empty Lungs Rock…’’ – David Roy, The Irish News.
