Amoeba Music

Joe (Anthony LaPaglia) runs Empire Records, an independent Delaware store that employs a tight-knit group of music-savvy youths. Hearing that the shop may be sold to a big chain, slacker employee Lucas (Rory Cochrane) bets a chunk of the store's money, hoping to get a big return. When this plan fails, Empire Records falls into serious trouble, and the various other clerks, including lovely Corey (Liv Tyler) and gloomy Deb (Robin Tunney), must deal with the problem, among many other issues.

Empire Records was released in 1995 and was directed by Allan Moyle from a script by Carol Heikkinen. The film also stars Maxwell Caulfield, Debi Mazar, Johnny Whitworth, Renée Zellweger and Ethan Embry.
