Imperial State Electric is a Swedish rock band founded by former front man of The Hellacopters Nicke Andersson (vocals and guitar), Dolph de Borst (vocals, bass), Tobias Egge (vocals, guitar) and Tomas Eriksson (drums). The band released their self-titled album March 28, 2010.

History

After the break-up of The Hellacopters in 2008, Andersson started to work on a solo album, recording all instruments of eight songs by himself, however Andersson changed his mind and decided that it would be better to form a band.[1] Andersson recruited Dolf de Borst, Tobias Egge and Tomas Eriksson, all of whom he had previously worked with in Cold Ethyl a cover band he formed shortly after the break-up of The Hellacopters.[1] During the recording of the band's self-titled album Andersson also enlisted help from several old friends,[2] including Dregen, Anders Lindström, Robert Pehrsson and Neil Leyton. While Andersson insists that Imperial State Electric is a band and not a solo career or a side project he also acknowledges the fact that the band might have a revolving line-up of members including himself on drums instead of guitar.
