Emperor Of Ice Cream

It’s been a little bit of a buzz for the constituent parts of Emperor of Ice Cream, jolted back together by retrospective articles, and intrepid fans that wanted to see them rewrite the nearly-men narrative around a band that was part of the mid-nineties for many Corkonians.

For those that aren’t familiar: Emperor of Ice Cream got together in Cork in the early nineties, and as chance would have it, were spotted relatively early by A&Rs from Sony Music, still living large off the excesses of the day, and the boom associated with the then-buoyant CD format. For two years, the band packed up and went to London, where they released EPs on their own imprint and toured regularly, until, suddenly, the band were dropped and subsequently broke up.
