The one thing that remains the heart of Love the Empire is that it brings a positive message of loving one another and keeping that pursuit of justice in the world alive. In 2005, while laying in a hospital bed after nearly dying from a car accident, Pete Klassen (the solo artist behind the name) decided to come up with a moniker to put himself under. A name that would fully represent the ideas he hoped to share, “I want the music to be about so much more then me…I want it to be an outlet…a way of seeing and meeting a need.” says Klassen.

Life experience is what shapes great heartfelt and meaningful lyrics, and that’s exactly what Love the Empire brings…Experience! Songs about losing loved ones due to accidents, losing relationships and almost losing one’s own life. And songs that tell tales of coming out on the other side with messages of forgiveness, redemption and grace.

In the summer of 2007 Love the Empire came out with the debut album To Self-Destruct. “My Long Awaited Life”, and “Absent Light” both received radio airplay on CHYR in the Windsor, ON area. Won a battle of the bands with the song “The Absent Light”. The act is now in studios currently recording the new and antcipated album called ACTIONS, with producers & engineers Adam Shirley & Noel Cadastre. In the upcoming year you’ll be hearing a lot more of Love the Empire, so keep your eyes and ears open!
