Bipolar Empire

Patience has always been a part of Bipolar Empire's make-up, despite the date of birth on their passports. It’s that patience, combined with a never say die work ethic that has seen them grow and develop into a stunning live act.

Their stylistic folk infused rock’n’roll, delivered with genuine raw passion and boundless energy, began to draw the attention of young music connoisseurs and as the live shows developed into a tighter, more intense experience, so the Bipolar Empire fanbase began to blossom. In 2009, the band got a lucky break and managed to wrangle a trip to the US to work with legendary music producer, Pat McCarthy (REM, Madonna, U2, Counting Crows...). The lads packed their bags and sunscreen and headed to Los Angeles to record their debut album. Impressed by the bands vast reserve of songs (the band had thirty tracks written and ready to record), McCarthy spent the first few days helping the band to whittle the tracks down. Working tirelessly and making the most of their time in the US, Bipolar Empire played numerous gigs including turns at the iconic Continental Club and the world famous Whiskey A Go-Go before heading to Austin, Texas, to perform at industry showcase South x Southwest.

Featuring 11 tracks brimming with heart pounding beats, thumping base lines, soaring guitars and the unmistakable voice of Shane O’Reilly, ‘Feel That You Own It’ is out now and could just be the soundtrack to your summer.
