Imperial Leisure

Imperial Leisure are a North London band born from high school friendship and a huge admiration of great groups such as The Specials, Madness, Jurassic 5 and Rage Against The Machine. The fan-base Imperial Leisure have built through their live activity has paid off with their debut single, In A Letter, selling out on the day of release. Radio support for the band has been extensive, with singles winning plays by Zane Lowe and Colin Murray at Radio One, Xfm nationwide and Virgin Xtreme, and with additional enthusiastic spins from BBC London’s Gary Crowley, Shaun Keaveney at BBC 6Music and Kerrang! Radio.

Playing their own particular take of rock steady, party hip hop and mosh-pit inducing punk, complete with live brass, decks and keys, their music is a killer combination of neat beats, great tunes and irresistibly catchy hooks. The band's sense of unity comes from years of friendship and hanging out together. They are based at their own rehearsal/recording studio in Tottenham and their familiarity is never more evident than in their stellar live shows.
