Los Angeles has always had a knack for producing bands that should have been enormous, and Tsar were among the most criminally overlooked of the early 2000s rock revival. Built on a foundation of Cheap Trick-worthy power pop and Sunset Strip swagger, their self-titled debut captured a sound that felt simultaneously classic and urgent, earning them a devoted cult following that has only grown in the years since. 25th anniversary, first ever LP pressing of their classic debut album on white vinyl. Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, My Chemical Romance) and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Bruce Springsteen, U2, Madonna). Winner of "Local Album of the Year" and "Best Local Band of the Year" at the L.A. New Times Music Awards. "Every song glistens and glimmers with gargantuan hooks and stadium-size riffs... With this irresistibly catchy debut-and an onstage presence to match-Tsar is my nominee as the band best equipped to save rock 'n' roll from it's postmillennial doldrums." -Rock critic and biographer Bob Mehr on Tsar Formed in the late 1990s after a residency at Sliver Lake, California's iconic Spaceland club, Tsar burst onto the music scene with their eponymous debut album on Hollywood Records in 2000. Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, My Chemical Romance) and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Bruce Springsteen, U2, Madonna), the album was an immediate critical sensation, even winning two awards from L.A.'s New Times magazine. Material from the album was featured in James Gunn's Super and prominently in American Psycho 2, as well as on television in shows including NCIS, Veronica Mars, and more. The band toured with New York Dolls, Social Distortion, Marvelous 3, and even Duran Duran. Now, a true candidate in the "But, have you heard this?" discussion, Tsar returns for it's 25th anniversary, with a first-ever vinyl release, pressed on white vinyl. A holy grail for fans of the glam meets punk meets garage meets bubblegum meets arena rock saviors, Tsar now fits perfectly on your turntable and in your ears. Where it belongs. Tracklist 1.
