November 2006

Gringo Records have released their first ever compilation. It is titled 'Oh Yeah!' and features 'How the mighty have stagnated' from the split single and lots of other goodies from the Gringo vaults.
We have also caved into peer pressure and now have a myspace presence.

June 2005

Another good review of the split single, this time from is this music?.
Gringo have unearthed a few copies of the Waters of the Orient EP (and some other Gringo classics too), so head to the Gringo on-line shop if you want to pick up a copy.

April 2005

Our track on the split single has been getting some radio play, with Jim Gellatly's Beatscene (Beat 106) and Stuart McHugh's Fallout (Radio Magnetic) both giving it an airing.
Some good reviews too, with Losing Today and Unpeeled giving it a double thumbs up.

February 2005

The split single is now available! You can buy it direct from gringo records (singles club subscribers should be receiving their copies this month).

August 2004

The track for the split single now has a name! It is titled "How the Mighty Have Stagnated." More news on the release as soon as we get it.
The gig with errors has been put on hold for the moment, but should still be happening sometime in the future.

July 2004

The track for our split single is now in the capable hands of Gringo. The finished product should be dropping through subscribers' letterboxes in a couple of months time.

June 2004

Welcome to our new home! After a rather lengthy holiday, we have returned with a new website, a new band member, a new record and hopefully some gigs too.
Our new internet home is now www.empire-builder.co.uk and we have given the site a big overhaul too. Hopefully you like it!
Empire-builder are now 4. After years of having 3 and a half members (thanks Craig!), we have finally got somebody in full-time. Fergus has been practicing with us for a while, and is settling into his role on guitar.
Gringo Records have been busy too, with the singles club finally up and running. We recorded our track our track earlier this month, and we are really happy with how it turned out. Our single is to be shared with Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!, who are from Olympia, WA. Lion-O would be proud.
Gringo now have a nice on-line shop. The Waters of the Orient EP has now sold out, but singles club related merch is now on sale.
See you soon!
