Imperial Teen has been around for longer than you think; roughly 15 years to be exact. Wielding its own distinct brand of pop/rock, the quartet has since crafted a solid niche for itself on the indie scene, particularly thanks to the experience of seasoned pros Will Schwartz, Roddy Bottum, Jone Stebbins and Lynn Truell. Known for its complex lyrics and catchy hooks, Imperial Teen has made a solid mark in the music world during its run, especially with new album Feel The Sound (Merge). We decided to test that experience by inviting the band to guest edit magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with Schwartz.
Truell: This is the first “professional” USB mic. I am no studio pro, and being able to plug it in and have it actually work without a lot of downloading and window review, well, that was awesome. Snowball works great on real close-up vocals or in a room with several instruments. It looks totally cool sitting on my desk and boosts my self-image! It is pretty cheap, too, and I just read that you can use the Snowball and get studio quality audio on your iPad with any recording app. Wow.
