By Kenny McMurtrie May 20, 2013 The Isle Of Wight Festival these days hardly needs any extra advance promotion, given its association in the public consciousness with the original three events of the same name and the pedigree established over the 11 years since its revival by the Solo Music Agency . This year's festival takes place from 13 to 16 June and at time of writing major acts such as The Stone Roses, Bon Jovi, The Killers and The [...]

The band just released their latest EP, H A N G A R . The EP a raw live recording, that was engineered and mixed by Bryce Gonzales at The Hangar in Sacramento, CA over three days in July 2012. Needless to say, I am thrilled to premiere this track. This here is track number two off of H A N G A R . Listen. [...]
Proponen los del programa "180 grados" de Radio 3 a sus oyentes que sugieran para un programa especial " canciones para viajar ", y en mi mente salta como un resorte esta canción de Imperial Teen. Qué cosa tan extraña es la mi memoria: a menudo se muestra completamente incapaz de recordar la conversación que acabo de tener, y sin embargo en cuanto me saqué hace unos años el carnet de conducir (a la cuarta, y ya mayorcito) no tuvo ninguna dificultad para rescatar del olvido esta joya de pop infeccioso que despuntaba en el disco " On [...]

Words, Photos, and Video by Ricky Everyone’s already told you … Austin, TX remains a kickass, music-obsessive city despite it being surrounded by a dirt-filled desert of conservatism. The massive SXSW and Austin City Limits Festivals flood the town with traveling music dorks each year, but a younger, cozier, and (dare I say) FUN festival crept into the scene seven years ago. The Fun Fun Fun Fest! The name says it all … organizers strive for a festival devoid of pricey, overcrowded Coachella or Lollapalooza vibes. Their gift for assembling lineups [...]
Treasure Island, Day Two: It was sunnier, and the music was, well, more guitar driven. It was also the first time in the six years of the festival that I was here for every note of music. I made it to the festival at 11:55, and walked in for the opening note of Imperial Teen. [...]

Imperial Teen have achieved something quite rare in pop music - the release of what is arguably their best album deep into the band's existence. Its been fifteen years since the quartet formed from members of various other San Francisco bands. Their popularity reached its high-water mark with the 1998 single "Yoo Hoo" (streaming below), a song that received significant airplay and was featured in the black comedy classic Jawbreaker . Five years removed from their last album, and seemingly out of nowhere comes Feel the Sound ( Merge ), a brilliant pop album rich in [...]
