Imperial State Electric - Honk Machine - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Hellacopters' architect Nicke Andersson is back with a new band. Imperial State Electric delivers power pop, with emphasis on power, rock AND roll. Imperial State Electric could be the missing link between the Beatles and Alice Cooper, or the bridge connecting the Byrds with S*x Pistols, if you will. No visas required, the gates are wide open. Nicke bids you welcome to his electric empire!

Cold Hart is set to his sixth studio project, Pretty In The Dark. As one of the co-founders of the GOTHBOICLIQUE collective, alongside artists like Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, Lil Peep, Fish Narc, YAWNS, and Lil Tracy, Cold Hart played a pivotal role in shaping a bold fusion of emo and hip hop. This unique blend infused a contemporary production sensibility into guitar riffs and samples, evoking a sense of instant nostalgia for those who grew up listening to bands like Linkin Park and Blink-182. In Pretty In The Dark, Cold Hart showcases his versatility by exploring dreamy guitars, energetic grooves, and lively pop-punk riffs, transitioning towards an Alternative/Indie Rock sound. Through numerous releases, his musical evolution has led him to hone in on traditional songwriting, aligning more closely with the influences of his formative years-whether it's the stylings of The Cure or Depeche Mode. These new tracks received a positive reception during Cold Hart's extensive US summer tour, where he captivated fans while sharing the stage with The Drums.
