Philadelphia noise punks Empath have announced they've signed to Fat Possum Records and will be reissuing their critically acclaimed debut album, Active Listening: Night on Earth. The deluxe version of the LP includes their 2018 Liberating Guilt and Fear EP, available on vinyl for the first time ever.
ABOUT EMPATH:
Empath began in 2016 when Garrett Koloski, Emily "Jem" Shanahan, and Catherine Elicson moved into a house in West Philadelphia together, with Randall Coon joining shortly after.
The noise-punk band broke onto the national scene in 2018 with the release of Liberating Guilt and Fear EP with renowned DIY Philly punk label Get Better Records.
Empath have also announced a fall tour that includes dates with Sheer Mag, Mannequin Pussy and Guerilla Toss.
