A Heart Is Always Red

Description

‘Ett hjärta är alltid rött’ is the story of the Swedish rock band Imperiet’s way, from the rubble of Ebba Grön to Svensktoppen and the big arenas. It is also the story of Sweden in an era when the country had a decisive place in the world political arena, and social involvement of artists was a matter of course. Imperiet was born from the iconic punk band Ebba Grön. They became the fixed stars of the post-punk generation and one of the biggest Swedish rock bands of the 1980s. Media-savvy, but often uncomfortable with celebrity, the band took the music in new directions.
