Empire of the Sun Is an “S” Tier Band

Each year, a new generation of college students discover the iconic pop song "Walking on a Dream" for the first time. This song, released in 2008, has stood the test of time and can be compared to the timeless hit "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac. The duo behind the song, Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore, are true musical geniuses and their Aussie pop style is unparalleled. From the captivating melodies and unique costumes to the thought-provoking lyrics, everything about this song is a masterpiece. The music videos, in particular, are a visual treat as they transport you to a world that is both nostalgic and futuristic. As one fan put it, "Empire of the Sun is not from this time period."

In 2006, Steele and Littlemore, who were part of the electronic band Pnau, formed Empire of the Sun. Their collaboration resulted in the sale of a million tracks and their songs were featured in commercials across the world, from California to China.

Fun fact: Thanks to Honda, Empire of the Sun's hit song "Walking on a Dream" finally made its debut on the US music charts after eight long years.
