Since the announcement came of Fall Out Boy’s indefinite hiatus, drummer Andy Hurley has been busier than ever! Above and beyond metal band The Damned Things, boasting Hurley, as well as Anthrax and Every Time I Die members, the beat keeper has jumped into yet another outfit dubbed Burning Empires. The 5-piece hardcore band features Stuart Ross, Ryan Morgan, and Kyle Johnson of Misery Signals, along with Matt Mixon, formerly of 7 Angels 7 Plagues. “This is a band I’ve always wanted to do with these guys, who have been best friends for about as long as Pete has been my best friend — over 10 years,” commented Hurley on the project. “Burning Empires satisfies a heavier, more pissed off side of me that has been waiting to come out, and the politics of the band are so important to me. They’re issues for which I’ve wanted to have a musical outlet for years.”
