INDEPENDENT BAND OF THE WEEK
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/music-magazine/music-magazine-features/band-of-the-week-imperial-leisure-1713668.html
"Imperial Leisure stand out like a clown at a funeral....A blast of fresh air" Kerrang
"A tune of epic proportions...an amazing track.......You'll be singing it for the rest of your life..." Colin Murray (Radio 1)
"One to Watch in 2008" The Daily Star
"Their debut single manages to capture some of their raucous live sound by allowing their demented mix of ska, hip-hop, techno and rock to blast off record with no concern for coherency. It’s a horn-drenched, spirit-raising of fury that rocks..." Clash Magazine
"An impressive mix of styles from the skankariffic ‘Sombrero’, head bobbing singles ‘Great British Summertime’ and ‘The Landlord’s Daughter’ all deliver with subject matter that’ll have you pissing your pants with laugher. Frickin’ awesome!" Big Cheese
“Perhaps the most crucial band around right at this moment - the revolution begins here” Losing Today magazine
“…If you thought UK rap had to be as clumsy as The Streets, if you thought the British ska revival ended when the Ordinary Boys sold out, if no-one else can help, then go and see Imperial Leisure, because they are the A-Team. People of the UK, your champions have arrived.” mysongbird.com
"...all you can do is pity the fools that came in late." London Metro
“…Like the Beasties and De La Soul, playing Less Than Jake at a cult-rock party with the best cover I've heard in ages. Amazing live band.”(SA) drownedinsound.com
"Honest, playful, full of inebriated insight… if I had a plane ticket to London hanging
out in my pocket, and I really wish I did, I would happily fly the ten hours to see them. " Brendan Turrill, PulseNow USA

Cheers for the feedback on the tunes mate! It's Morgan here, been a fan of you guys for yonks. Caught u earlier this year supporting Ugly Duckling in Brighton, wicked gig!
Love the new album, hope to catch you at another gig soon. Good luck with all the festivals!
Everyone Wishs They Had A Drummer As Fit As Ares XD A Gig Sounds Good But We Have Only Just Re-Formed Give Us A Few Months Come Play In Canterbury And I Can Get You Another Great Local Ska Band In Support =] P.S. Bought Your Album Last Year It's Awesome (Jake) Write Back :P
Aye aye, cheers! Tunes are on the way, we're currently trying to get our first EP recorded, which should be getting started this week. Hopefully we'll be finished and have it released by August and we'll be sure to let you know and hook you up with a free copy.
Well you've got a few fans in macclesfield and some good gig venues in ronnies and the green room, and some others. Cant wait to hear the new album. Is there anywhere i can get the old classics my mayte Stuart Umbo always goes on about the a team song. Good luck recording

Great gig guys on soho on the 15th may loving the street gigs thing was awesome, best way to start my backpacking. When the next album out, you do many gigs up north like near macclesfield
Alright guys, just wondering, you around on the friday at 2000 trees aswell as when you are playing on the saturday? And also, which member of you am i talking to? :P x
I hope everyone's enjoying the lovely weather! Just a quick reminder, our new single 'The Concrete We're Trapped Within (It's Yours)' is released on Monday 6th July!
Don't forget to come and join in the fun when we hit the road next week! We're visiting our favourite shops and doing an acoustic set as well as having a chin wag!
hey guys! me and my friend anna heard you playing in Camden Markett and you guys were amazing! we totally wouldve hit up your cd party, but we had to come back to the states that day :[ anyyywaysss, we got one of your stickers and stuck it on the plane like you told us too! lovee youuu, a+b p.s. i'm on the left, annas on the right <3
Play together ???? It would be really cool - your french fries seem to be not so bad. We can organise it for you in France on a good scene (LYON) and you 'll do the same thing in England ?
Could you send a message to me and tell me what you want to do exactly !
I'm too skint to get tickets to anything, so I won't be doing the week of partying, sorry! Try to get another gig in Bournemouth area and I'll be there! xxx
