Empired Returns with New Song “Money”
Long Beach-based punk band Empired, consisting of Jai Hansel (bass/vocals), Bruce Zebal (guitar/vocals), Danny Baeza (drums), Cam Mosavian (guitar/vocals) and Ben Harrison (Keyboards), returned with a new song “Money” on February 14, 2025.
The song is their first music since their debut album “Finding Calm in the Chaos”, which was released last January.
Also it is the first release under their new label HEY!EVER Records.
The track examines the struggle to find work-life balance amid ever-declining pay and workers' rights while living in a capitalist society.
It was written by Ben Harrison, Bruce Zebal, Cameron Mosavian, Danny Baeza, and Jai Hansel. Produced by Empired.
The band guitarist Cam Mosavian said of the song, “'Money' pulses with righteous anger, critiquing the struggles of navigating a capitalist society, as the song explores the difficulty of finding work-life balance amid stagnant wages and shrinking workers' rights. An anthemic indictment wrapped in a beautiful melody. It's hard to find peace when the rent keeps rising.”- source : Apple Music
