The Caesars came out of Stockholm in 1995, a garage-rock outfit with a name problem: at home they started out as Caesars Palace, until the Las Vegas hotel made that awkward, and elsewhere in Scandinavia they went by Twelve Caesars. Joakim Åhlund sang lead, and the band that settled in by 2000, with Nino Keller and César Vidal among them, played it lean and snotty, all fuzzed-up guitars and swagger.
"Jerk It Out", from Love for the Streets in 2002, is the song everybody knows, a bratty, strutting stomp that sounds like a vintage garage single found in a thrift-store bin and souped up for the new century. Paper Tigers followed in 2005 with "It's Not the Fall That Hurts". The band ended in 2012.
