Forest Beyond The Tracks (an Empire Affair podcast)

Empire Affair look back on 2020 and what it meant to them. They also discuss plans for new music in 2021 and are joined by special guest Dave Chinery.

The concluding episode of Forest Beyond the Tracks looks at the band’s return to Croatia in the summer of 2014. This episode contains lots of alcohol, 3 gigs, 2 birthdays and one banana…

In 2012 Empire Affair had their first tour in Croatia, playing three gigs in Zagreb, Čakovec and Zupanja. This episode tells the story of those gigs and the adventures the band had in between.

This is a bit of a mixed bag of an episode. This time we are chatting about the songs that didn't make it on to the EPs, the songs that we have covered and the Rewind the Clocks documentary film. Be sure to find the Rewind the Clocks film on YouTube.

Episode 7 of Forest Beyond the Tracks. This time we are chatting through the 7 music videos that we have made. If you are enjoying this, please find the Youtube version where you can see lots of outtakes and behind the scenes footage.

Our thanks to everyone who has appeared in our videos and those that helped make them possible.
