The Imps

The Imps

When the band formed in 1977, they were one of the first punk bands in Stockholm. They quickly became very good at their heavily New York Dolls influenced punk rock, gigged in and around their home town and supported Dead Kennedys in Stockholm 1981. They made studio recordings in both 1980 and 1981. However none of these made it onto vinyl and the band broke up in 1982. The singer, Anders Gustawsson, continued in bands like The Curse and The Bwanas. In 2022 Anders contacted Bollmora Rekords and asked if they wanted to release the old Imps recordings. The master tape was long gone and what was left was a couple of cassettes. We managed to restore the recordings and are now very happy to present 14 songs with good sound quality.
