The Sonic Empire

There is nothing so powerful as sounds that set your feet to tapping or your brain to thinking.

BEAF

BEAF

BEAF is the eternal groove of the universe, the throbbing rhythm of the cosmos, the fuzzy interconnectedness of the clever ape called humans and their integral role in the multisphere. All genres all experiments. All embrace BEAF.


Choking Bliss

Rock evolved. Jam deconstructed. Jelly misconstrued. Americana rebelling against Americana, making it most best Americana. Brain food you can dance too.


x-static urge

A sexy blend of EDM, techno, hip-hop and funk. It is the comfortable thing you slip in to when you take a moment to slip in to something comfortable.

The UnSaved

Melvin's favorite band. Love the Melvin that is inside each and every one of us. What can be said of a world that breaks his heart and shaves some hope off his future every day?

Plastic Houses

Where it all started with a synth and a drum machine. Lo-fi local 80's indie, revisited for the 40th anniversary of its creation.

Misercordia

Retro Darkwave drug in to the modern gloom.

The Mean Little Man

Old angst for a new generation. The origin story for The Sonic Empire. The lifestyle brand for alternative music and music-based lifestyles equally comfortable with both peace signs and middle fingers.

Christopher Eissing

Composer, performer, artist. This is Chris's home for his personal projects that bear his name.

The Sonic Empire

Channelling the cool local record stores of old - where the shop's name was shared with the shop's 'zine, the owner's band, and the owner's bad tattoo.

The Sonic Empire

The Sonic Empire is a 30-year dream come to life. And it is only the beginning.

Music - Video - Performance

Stay tuned as we bring you more music, more performance, and all the trappings of that cool main street record store that was replaced with a Starbucks years ago.
