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.
Bottum: I’m taking part in the ride this year: 500-plus miles on bikes from S.F. to L.A. to raise money and awareness for this tired old disease that continues to take lives. I’m training now and totally into bumping it up for the cause. Super frightened of the biking fashion, bike shorts specifically, but here I go. Check out my page, and if it makes sense and you can find it in your heart, please think about sponsoring me. No amount is too small. Or just give me a shout of encouragement. Cheers.
