Imperial Teen is an indie pop band that splits the difference between guitar crunch and sweet harmonies, keeping melody in focus at all times. Formed in the mid-'90s by Faith No More keyboardist Roddy Bottum and Bay Area alt punk veteran Lynn Perko, the band was first an exercise in straightforward pop and sugary melody from musicians best known for more aggressive styles. They were highly active in the late '90s and early 2000s, and scored a minor hit in 1998 with "Yoo Hoo," their sultry contribution to the Jawbreaker soundtrack. They began releasing records with stalwart indie label Merge in 2002, growing more nuanced without losing their sticky boy/girl sound on albums like 2012's Feel the Sound and 2026's All Over You.
