Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as their final studio album, Ben Wallers leads the Country Teasers through a chaotic collision of noise rock, post-punk, and fractured Americana. 'The Empire Strikes Back' relies on deeply sarcastic, highly controversial lyricism to skewer British imperialism and modern sociopolitical hypocrisy.
