Rebecca's Empire were an Australian indie pop-rock band born in 1994 around two people: Rebecca Barnard, whose clear, knowing voice sits at the center of everything, and her partner at the time, Shane O'Mara, whose lead guitar gives the songs their bite.
"Atomic Electric" arrived in their first year, a jangly, charged blast of guitar pop. The Take a Look at Happiness EP followed in 1995 with "Empty", and the debut album Way of All Things arrived in 1996, carrying the title track and "So Rude", songs that pair sugar-coated melodies with a little sting underneath.
A second album, Welcome, came out in 1999, but the band called it a day in 2000, with drummer Peter Luscombe among the players in that last stretch.
