IMPERIAL LEISURE

Imperial Leisure are a North London band born from high school friendship and a huge admiration of great groups, both close to home, such as The Specials and Madness, and from further afield, such as The Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5 and Rage Against The Machine.

Playing their own particular take of rock steady, party hip hop and mosh-pit inducing punk, the band have been conquering crowds across the UK, playing festivals such as Glastonbury, Camp Bestival and Bestival, not to mention (illegitimately playing in the car parks at) Reading, Fruitstock and LoveBox, as well as springing spontaneous guerilla gigs on unsuspecting but hugely appreciative crowds in shopping centres, parks and on beaches around the UK. Previous support appearances have included Roots Manuva, Gym Class Heroes, Ugly Duckling, the legendary Sugar Hill Gang, Sway, and Skinnyman.

The band unleashed their debut album, The Art of Saying Nothing to the world in 2009. Featuring twelve tracks that manage to encapsulate all things British from ska and punk roots, to tales of modern day drinking and debauchery. It’s the consummate companion to a lazy day spent in a beer garden, and as refreshing as that first taste of a chilled pint of lager.

“Imperial Leisure stew up hip-hop, ska and punk into invigorating party music…purpose-built to send festivals into a deranged dancing sweat.” –Q

“It’s impossible not to get caught up in it all, the sense of fun seeping into everyone involved like a shot of serotonin.” - KKKKK, Kerrang!
