Taking the best elements of classic 90s alternative (massive hooks/upbeat choruses) and ditching the worst (mopey pretension/downtempo sludge), Australia’s Emperors simultaneously pay homage to a bygone era while adding their own unique flavor. By embracing the power pop aesthetic of Weezer, Ash and Guided By Voices, Emperors’ debut record Stay Frosty is ten tracks of unrelenting, yet instantly catchy and accessible rock. It’s also remarkably straight-faced, in an era where garage/alternative throwback acts tend to rely more on ironic detachment and feedback over songcraft. “We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel,” says the band. “We’re just trying to write memorable pop songs that we like and people can connect with.”
