Empire monthly grew out of Pat Daly’s Empire Records Store on Chicago’s Northwest Side. It covered the indie rock scene in Chicago from 1987 to 1994, including punk bands like Barbie Army and Friends of Betty, noise group Rapeman, the alternative rock of God’s Acre and The Smashing Pumpkins, and the power pop of Material Issue. In spite of its name it was issued sporadically in 18 issues. Although freely available, it featured high quality photographs and lengthy articles.
