Tsar

Tsar are a rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1998, consisting of Jeff Whalen (lead vocals, guitar), Daniel Kern (vocals, guitar), Jeff Solomon (bass), and Steve Coulter (drums).

The band were a support act for Duran Duran in 2000.

Background information
They released an eponymous album on Hollywood Records in 2000, which, although a financial disappointment for the label, availed them a number of dedicated fans. Their songs "Ordinary Gurl" and "The Girl Who Wouldn't Die" were featured in the movie American Psycho 2. "Calling All Destroyers" was prominently featured in the animated opening titles for Super.

In 2004, Chuck Byler replaced Coulter and in 2005 Derrick Forget replaced Solomon. In 2005 Tsar released their second full album, Band-Girls-Money, on TVT Records. The album had been recorded nearly two years earlier with Coulter and Solomon. The titular track was included in the soundtrack for the racing games Burnout Revenge and its PSP and DS spin-off Burnout Legends.

In late January 2010, the band's original lineup (Whalen/Kern/Solomon/Coulter) reunited. They played a show at the LA Times, and released a new song called "Girls Try to Be Cool".

In 2011, the song "Calling All Destroyers" from the band's debut was used as the song for the animated title sequence of the James Gunn film Super.
