Imperiet were a Swedish 1980s rock group from Stockholm. During a few years in the 1980s, Imperiet dominated the Swedish rock scene. Imperiet started as Rymdimperiet, a side project to the most popular punk band in Sweden, Ebba Grön, and included three of its members. When Ebba Grön broke up in 1983, Rymdimperiet re-emerged as Imperiet; with Joakim ThÄström (lead-vocals/guitar), Anders "Stry Terrarie" Sjöholm (vocals/guitar) & Gunnar "Gurra" Ljungstedt (drums), all three originally from Ebba Grön.
