Broken Stone Records are pleased to announce Sydney three-piece Imperial Broads have joined their roster and today release their single 'Unromantic'. With lyrics that will set you straight on modern romance, the harmony-laden, surf-rock single is accompanied by a clip featuring the band, filmed and edited by Jonathan Sequeira.
Band member Eve Lande says of the single “This is a cheeky clear-eyed take on a love song. Let’s be honest about the aspects of a long term partnership that are necessity and fantasies about something/someone “other”. Or, at least, let’s present it that way and keep the good stuff private. A surf guitar break-down doesn’t hurt either!”
'Unromantic' is the first offering from Imperial Broads’ upcoming sophomore album, masterfully produced by Liam Judson, and is expressive of the varied range of sonic influences and personal experiences found on the album. The band will be launching 'Unromantic' with a show on Saturday 27th March at the Petersham Bowling Club supported by instrumental surf rockers The Good Boys. Tickets are on sale now here.
Imperial Broads are a noisy, deranged, pop explosion led by three singer-songwriters who work together to make a delightfully raucous, urgent, and melodic sound. What started out as three girls in a garage learning to play guitar in the dead of winter, with ambitious ideas of making harmony-packed punk music, has developed into the strange but catchy combo of distortion and groove created by Pip Smith, Eve Lande and Lauren Crew.
Renowned For Sound has raved their live shows as packed "a powerful set of tunes that saw doo-wop pop and punk collide" and Underground Stage said their songs are “like an edged weapon, glinty and threatening, but are wielded with skill and a thoroughly demented grin. It slices through you in all the good ways.”
They have played a slew of local festival lineups including Bad Day Out, Freedom Festivals 2 & 3, Sad by Sad West and Sydney Psych Fest where they played alongside the likes of La Luz, Straight Arrows, The Gooch Palms, Middle Kids, Body Type, Felix Lush, Julia Why?, Kikagaku Moyo, New Candys, Glitoris amongst many more local and international acts.
