The Would Be Emperors
"Rock, Electro, Dance, and Indy."
The Would Be Emperors have been playing Manchester and the Northwest for two years. In that time we've gigged at the Cavern Liverpool, The Dry Bar, Matt and Phreds, Night and Day, The Studio, The Star and Garter and The Ruby Lounge as well as playing MAPS and the ITC Fringe festivals. We've had airplay on BBC Manchester and been listed as their Introducing Artist Of the Week. We've played unplugged sets for a variety of local Manchester radio stations, and had airplay as far afield as Austria and Colorado.

best industry quotes

  1. “Stunningly funky bass work and spiralling rifts that seemed to last forever (in a good way!), backed by strong but simple vocals made this band stand out as both an audience and band favourite alike…contenders to any indie/funk crown around.”
  2. What we’re talking about here is a busy flurry of sequencing and almost-to-the-point-of-sampled guitar loops, all cascading in a style that immediately reminds you of the edgy pop excellence of someone like Reverend And The Makers - a classy parallel it is too.
  3. "Thankfully, The Would-Be Emperors aren't simply aping the aging antics of King Monkey and the like. Instead, they've strapped on their funk guitars and set the amps to 'anthem'.
