In 2007, Tucson, AZ's Holy Rolling Empire began turning heads and captivating audiences all over the great southwest. After a self released 6 song EP and numerous trips up the west coast, the group earned themselves a record deal with Newport Beach's Burning House Records and immediately began working on a full length release.

Combining the intensity of psychedelia and creativity of the classic rock of the 60's and 70's with catchy modern pop riffs and haunting melodies, Holy Rolling Empire crafted a unique and powerful sound that will be well depicted in their upcoming debut album.

With the new album set to drop March 3, 2009, and some heavy U.S. touring on the way, the Holy Rolling Empire is ready to break out of the southwest, and make their way into your town and onto your stereo.
