Imperial Wax are a British alternative rock band, formed in 2018 by guitarist Pete Greenway, bassist Dave Spurr and drummer Keiron Melling, all had previously played together in the final line-up of the long-established post-punk group, The Fall.

[3] They were then joined by Curran, formerly of Leeds-based punk band Black Pudding,[1][3] naming themselves after the first Fall album that they had worked on together, 2008's Imperial Wax Solvent.

The Arts Desk described it as, "storming stuff with a sneering wit and a thump that’s aimed firmly at getting listeners on their feet",[7] while The Big Takeover said, "the band succeeds at every approach it attempts.

With a combination of solid musicianship, smart songwriting and sparkling interband chemistry, Imperial Wax easily makes the case for not only being a reasonable outgrowth of its much-beloved predecessor, but also as a great new band in its own right.

They were later joined by former Fall bassist Simon "Ding" Archer on synthesisers, as well as guitarist Charlie Wyatt (Chubby and the Gang, PREDECEASED and ex-Thee MVPs), standing in for Greenway while he is unable to perform due to health issues.
