Album Notes
Imperial Drag: Eric Dover (vocals, guitar); Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (keyboards, background vocals); Joseph Karnes (bass, background vocals); Eric Skodis (drums, background vocals).Additional personnel: Mark Pfaff (harmonica); Phil Cassens (vibraslap).Producers: Brad Jones, Roger Joseph Manning, Jr.Recorded at House Of Blues Studios, Encino, California.After the dissolution of Jellyfish, Roger Manning formed his new outfit, Imperial Drag, with lead singer/guitarist Eric Dover. Working with producer Brad Jones, the band released their self-titled debut in 1996 to the delight of Jellyfish fans.The sound of Imperial Drag doesn't veer far from the power pop of Jellyfish, although it isn't nearly as orchestrated as that band's final effort Spilt Milk. Instead, the sound is more, loose and opts for a garage-rock feel. Dover is a quality vocalist who bears more than a faint resemblance to Cheap Trick's Robin Zander, particularly on "Crosseyed" and the playful "'Breakfast' By Tiger." The lyrics, on which Dover is a co-writer, are the clever stuff that fans had come to expect from Manning. Highlights include the opener, "Zodiac Sign," a lyrical send-up of all things New Age, and the tentative love song "Illuminate," on which Dover proves himself capable of handling a ballad as well as the rockers. Imperial Drag is good, good stuff. ~ Tom Demalon

Editorial Reviews
4 Stars - Excellent - ...songs that meld Moog-assisted yet not unfunky hard rock grooving with a cheeky, pick`n'mix melodic bent....Dover's Dave Lee Roth-meets-Paul Kossoff persona oozes more character than Redd Kross...
Q (19960801)

4 Stars - Excellent - ...a corker of a record. IMPERIAL DRAG is a rollercoaster ride of multifaceted, happy rock...

I bought this disc, because I'm a huge jellyfish/Roger manning fan, and although it sounds nothing like jellyfish nor did I expect it to ,you won't be dissapointed if you love 70's sounding power pop with classic rock styled grooves. Roger Manning's keyboard work adds enough of an extra dimension to the band's sound to seperate them from the pack of other similar mid 90's bands.
I remember reading another review of this CD which said it was good, but it was released 20 years too late, well listening to it now in 2011 it's very refreshing because bands just don't sound like this anymore, at least none of the ones being played on the radio or being heralded by by today's music critics!
