SO HI, IDK IF YOU GUYS KNEW THIS, BUT EMPIRES RELEASED A NEW SONG LAST NIGHT. t_usual_suspect and I sat there refreshing myspace for like an hour, it was pretty awesome. We were listens #15 and 16, about which I'm way prouder than I probably ought to be. God I can't fucking wait until the album drops.
And then I went poking around, as you do, and found the latest round of pictures Matt Wysocki took, which are all BRILLIANT AND AMAZING as Wysocki generally is, and I figured that some of y'all won't have seen them yet. So.
empires minispam. With commentary. Because I love you, and because it's Tom's birthday in two hours and clearly we need to do something to commemorate the occasion.
I shall consider this an addendum to this spam that the lovely and gracious riorhapsody did in March. (Warning: that post kills my laptop -- which, granted, my laptop is a piece of shit -- and also my knickers.)
So hey, there's this great band called empires. Haven't heard of them? Shocking!
See? Sean is totally shocked.
There is nothing about empires that is anything less than amazing. Even Tom's shirt agrees.
What's that, Tom? Your shirt was only referring to your hotass face?
Because, well. I can buy that, except that empires is fucking awesome. Awesome enough that you are totally justified in wearing your rockstar sunglasses and looking unimpressed in this picture.
Okay, okay, fine; I'll back off. You're still really hot, though. And interestingly, you're standing next to t_usual_suspect's car. Or, y'know, a junked version of her car at some auto salvage yard in Chicago. How do you feel about that?
Again with the unimpressed face. Steph, I think he just insulted your wheels.
The entire band is now telling me to get on with it, already.
So here, have another group shot. Sean appears to be v. confused by the fact that the rest of his band is smiling. Don't be confused, bb!
Seriously. Your face might stick like that, and that would be tragic, because you're pretty when you smile!
Although, I gotta say, wtf is wrong with your hair? Honey, that haircut didn't work for Mikeyway, and it certainly doesn't work for you. In fact, I think it works even less for you than it did for him, because you don't have the crazy to back up your insane grooming choices the way the Ways do. But...you know, if you stand like this all the time, I probably won't even notice your hair.
Nnngh. See, now that I've said that, you're going to keep doing it, aren't you?
Clearly it's Sean Van Vleet's goal in life to end mine. I'm...surprisingly okay with that, tbqh.
Ryan thinks I should stop objectifying Sean.
But Sean's so pretty, I protest! See? How can you not want to do filthy things to this gorgeous boy?
Filthy things? Oh, Ryan will show you filthy things.
NNGH. God, okay, fine. You win, Ryan. I'll just objectify you instead. Especially if you stand around in that stupid vest, looking kind of like a rentboy who's turning tricks in a junkyard.
Or...yeah, I don't even know.
Max thinks that was pretty hilarious. I think Max is right.
Max is...apparently not used to people agreeing with him. Or something. Please don't eat me, Max.
Let's look at somebody who's a little less profoundly frightening, okay? How about Alfred the Hot Bassist?
Fuck yeah, that's what I'm talking about. How about a close-up?
Man, you're so hot. Maybe you should take off your jacket.
NNGH, AGAIN. EMPIRES, WHY SO HOT, SERIOUSLY. ALL OF YOU, I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH IT.
Although one of you probably needs to tell Ryan that he is not, in fact, Gerard Way. (Wow, second MCR reference in one post. I am win tonight, obvs.)
And, finally, my favorite of the group shots.
Max: "Bitch, please."
Sean: "You're wearing that?"
Ryan: "I haven't washed my hair in four days. You wanna make something of it, huh, punk? Yeah, that's what I thought."
Alfred: *is asleep standing up*
Tom: "I am so fucking confused right now; I think I'll just stand at the back."
