  • Mustasch Släpper Ny Singel "What Is Wrong" Och Startar Kampanj
    Omslag: "What Is Wrong" 2019-05-03 09:45 CEST Mustasch släpper ny singel "What Is Wrong" och startar kampanj Mustasch ligger inte på latsidan. Bandet fortsätter att förse världen med starka alster när de vill och hur de vill. I mars släppte Mustasch singeln "Blood In Blood Out" som spelats en hel del på radio, och redan i dag kommer de med ny hård tonkonst - "What Is Wrong". Med nya singeln vill Mustasch sätta fokus på det faktum att antalet unga män ökar bland de som begår självmord. - "What Is Wrong" är vår kampsång för unga män som lider av psykisk ohälsa. Män förväntas vara starka och vågar inte söka hjälp. Det vill vi i Mustasch ändra på. I samband med att nya singeln släpps, startar vi även kampanjen #whatiswrong. Jag har själv tre döttrar och uppskattar förstås de kampanjer som belyser unga kvinnors situation. Men det är ett faktum att självmord ökar bland unga män och det måste vi sätta stopp för. Vi vill att alla män ska veta att det är en styrkehandling att våga söka hjälp, säger bandets sångare Ralf Gyllenhammar. "What Is Wrong" är Mustaschs andra singelsläpp på den egna skivetiketten Tritonus Records. Bandet kommer att släppa en singel digitalt varje eller varannan månad fram till dess att fullängdaren levereras senare i höst. - Vi vill att fansen ska vara med hela vägen. När skivan sedan släpps i höst så har de redan hunnit lyssna in sig på låtarna när vi åker på turné. Men vi kommer även att addera några extra låtar på vinylen, berättar Ralf.

  • "Blood in Blood Out" - Mustasch Går Sin Egen Väg
    2019-03-15 11:11 CET "Blood In Blood Out" - Mustasch går sin egen väg Mustasch är inte bara ett av Sveriges mest framgångsrika hårdrocksband, de är även ett av de mest produktiva. För mindre än ett år sedan släppte de fullängdaren "Silent Killer" och nu är bandet tillbaka med nytt låtmaterial. I dag släpps "Blood In Blood Out" som är den första singeln från kommande albumet. - "Blood In Blood Out" är vår hårdaste låt hittills, det tycker i alla fall de som jobbar med oss. Den handlar om att ge allt. Jag kan inget annat än att spela musik och underhålla människor. Det är mitt kall! Jag slutar med Mustasch först när jag är död, konstaterar bandets frontman Ralf Gyllenhammar. Den nya singeln markerar även en ny era för Mustasch. "Blood In Blood Out" blir den första utgivningen på bandets egna nystartade etikett Tritonus Records. - Vi behöver inga mellanhänder, vi kan sköta det här på egen hand och då vet vi vart pengarna hamnar. Vi vill komma närmare fansen, låta de ta del av den kreativa processen. Det är fansen vi vill kommunicera med och lägga vår energi på. Inte på nåt skivbolag som missköter sitt uppdrag. Bandet planerar att släppa en singel och video så fort en ny låt blir klar, fram till dess att albumet levereras under senare delen av året. Se nya videon här (producerad av Ted Lindén från Bullsize). - När skivan sedan kommer i höst, endast digitalt och på vinyl, så har alla redan lyssnat in sig på låtarna när vi åker på turné. Och för att ingen ska gå lottlös så sätter vi ihop ett grymt album till vinylsläppet utöver de sex digitala singlar som vi har släppt under året.
