In 2012, the four-piece narrowly came second out of 700 acts in 98 fm’s “Brand New Act of 2012”. Following the name change, The New Emperors were selected as winners of the “Budweiser Future Sounds” competition 2013, and recorded a track with legendary producer Rob Kirwan (U2, Depeche Mode, Bell X1).
