Imperil

Imperil, a five piece Metal/Hardcore band from San Diego CA.
Imperil started under a different name, and went through, various line-up changes through it's under-appreciated yet promising beginnings.

The current line up:
Blake Backer. - Vocals
Jason Harkless. - Guitar
Tyler Santander. - Guitar
Evan Smelser. - Bass
Micheal Backer. - Drums

These kids grew up together and have had one hell of a time doing it, each with their own unique and individual respect for the band and the music they make, it really brings a fantastic atmosphere to the stage, and their recordings.
Starting in 2004, Imperil has worked their way up from poor quality garage band, sounding recordings, and house shows. To, professional quality recordings and several shows at small to Mid-level venues. Recently playing a show at Soma, probably the biggest venue in San Diego that plays that genre of music on a regular basis.

In mid-2006 they recorded an Ep entitled: "My Life, My Pride". Featuring four tracks:
1.On My Feet
2.A Whore's Poverty
3.You Can Smell It
4.Tough Guy
(Tough Guy, was a previous song, that was re-recorded, with back up vocals by Brad Crawford)

In Late 2006 they have written new songs, and are planning to record them at Love Juice Record Studios in Late December 2006.

Extra Facts:
-They orginaly started as a Straight Edge band, but had to conform due to line up changes.
-Blake and Micheal are cousins, not brothers. (often confusion)
-All of the members with the exception of Tyler go to Clairemont High School, Tyler attends UC High School.
-Evan Smelser is a recent addition, the band has been through a couple bassists.
-Both Jason and Blake own Side Kicks, and are proud of it.
-The Band members take pleasure in trying to get girls to take pictures of their breasts with "Imperil" scrolled across them.
-Jason and Micheal are currently invovled in a Hardcore side project with Brad Crawford, Kick Rocks!
-All of them enjoy shouting and throwing things out of moving cars. Preferrabley at people.

Neo-Imperialism

Conquer By Breeding (CBB)

This strategy is the most commonly used alternative to outright war when one population wants to annex another population's territory.

The strategy is allowed by the United Nations (inexplicably) since conquering a country by means of war is no longer tolerated amongst the international community.
The Conquer By Breeding strategy was used in the "plantations" carried out by the British in Ireland in the 1600's. The strategy is proving unsuccessful - the British now control only 2/3 of one of the four provinces in Ireland and the Irish nationalists within the area under the control of the British are now using the same strategy to regain the territory they lost to the British.


A more successful example of the CBB strategy has been used by the Albanians in their attempt to annex the Serbian state of Kosovo in 1689(Kosovo is part of the original Serb heartland and ancestral homeland of the Serbs).

The same strategy will be used by the large muslim population in the south of France very soon.
(The French were stupid enough to let it happen, so they deserve any problems which come out of an open-door immigration policy.)

Musical Imperialism

The act of forcing someone to listen to your favorite bands, or bands you "think they would like" in an effort to justify your musical tastes. This usually happens when first meeting someone whose musical tastes are unknown to you.
Joey: How was the car ride?

John: It was okay, except Alli insisted on playing her iPod at full blast the entire time "showing" me all these bands I would supposedly like. I like music and all, but it eventually got obnoxious.

Joey: Well golly gee willikers, that sounds like a textbook example of Musical Imperialism.

Musical Imperialism

Everyone knows that guy/girl who always comes to your party and stealthily plugs in their own iPod between songs. You were bumping old school Outkast, but now you have to settle for "She Wolf" by Shakira. You shrug it off because you're winning at pong at the moment, but let's be honest, that's musical imperialism.
Josey: Hey, man, I really like this country playlist. It's totally appropriate for the setting and provides a really good vibe....wait, who the fuck just put on Ludacris?

Hal: It's Ashley. She's always stealing the stereo.

Josey: Dude! That's musical imperialism at its worst right there.

garbage imperialism

Moniker given by political writers to describe the way the devoloped Western countries treat the Third World...by shipping them their garbage (from chemically-toxic and nuclear waste to the 'innocent'-sounding medical-waste management!) and pay them much-needed US dollar in return for their 'services'!
Garbage imperialism is on the rise in countries like Iraq: I know an Iraqi friend who lives here in Jordan that specialises in MWM (Medical Waste Management), and he tells me that this is his only way to make bread in Iraq these days?! WTFF!
