Caesars is a Swedish alternative rock band. In their native Sweden, the band was originally known as Caesars Palace, and in the rest of Scandinavia they are known as Twelve Caesars. Elsewhere they go by the name Caesars. Outside of Sweden, they may be best known for the song "Jerk It Out", which was originally featured in the snowboarding video Afterbang in 2002 and later appeared in an iPod advertisement in 2005, as well as the Electronic Arts video games SSX 3 and FIFA Football 2004, also known as FIFA Soccer 2004 and on the PlayStation 2 game LMA Manager 2005, and arcade game Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA. The song is featured on their 39 Minutes of Bliss (In An Otherwise Meaningless World), Paper Tigers, and Love For The Streets albums. They have won Swedish Grammy Awards for best album and best new artist. Their song "We Got to Leave" is the theme music to the television series Confessions of a Matchmaker.

Style

The band employs several techniques in all of their songs: heavily distorted vocals, guitars, and, where applicable, a synth organ. This affords them a very "old-school" feel in stark contrast to their crisp basslines.
