Peter Bjorn and John Drop Another New Song “Wrapped Around the Axle” As Band Gears up for the October 19Th Release of New LP Darker Days Via INGRID For Immediate Release: Peter Bjorn and John Drop Another New Song “Wrapped Around The Axle” as Band Gears Up for the October 19th Release of New LP Darker Days via INGRID FLOOD Exclusively Premieres Lyric Video – Click HERE or Screen Shot Above to View! New York, NY – 12 October 2018 – Peter Bjorn and John dropped another new song today – “Wrapped Around The Axle” – as the Swedish trio gears up for the October 19th release of their eighth LP Darker Days via INGRID. Another song attributed to Bjorn whose approach to the album’s central theme of darkness was to take on relationship issues. While the first Bjorn song “Gut Feeling” directly dealt with the band’s internal struggles after releasing 2016’s aptly titled Breakin’ Point, “Wrapped Around The Axle” is about some friends navigating a split. “I got the idea for ‘Wrapped Around the Axle’ when two friends of mine were having problems in their relationship. I knew them both for many years, so it was very emotional for me too. I think both of them wanted it to work, but the more they tried they realized they were being dragged deeper and deeper into something ever darker. It made me think that sometimes an honorable walkover is the only alternative; or to quote the Swedish author Klas Östergren: ‘I’m leaving the table, I’m out of the game.’ ‘Wrapped Around the Axle’ is a metaphor for when your sleeve is being caught up in a spinning shaft, and you realize the only way you’re going to get out of this situation is to lose the shirt. Sometimes the lyrics are the most important part of a song. I think this is the case with ‘Wrapped Around the Axle.’ But if I have to say something about the music, it’s based around 70’s inspired riff, with a Simon and Garfunkel-esque melody accompanied by a Jack White-ish beat.” – Björn Yttling “Wrapped Around The Axle” is the fourth new song to be released ahead of Darker Days, following the September 21st release of “One For The Team” (Peter), “Gut Feeling,” and “Every Other Night” (John). Upon release “Gut Feeling” was tapped for Spotify’s “New Music Friday” where it has since streamed more than 300K times and this past Monday Billboard premiered the lyric video for “Gut Feeling” – watch HERE, while lyric videos for “One For The Team” and “Every Other Night” were released yesterday. Following the first three singles, the band also released the FIRST EVER 3-In-1 music video on October 1st. The clip features the official music video for each of the singles and the viewer can select which video to watch by choosing P, B or J on their keyboard. You can check this out again HERE. All three videos were directed by the Shout Out Louds’ Ted Malmros who direct the video for Peter Bjorn and John’s “Young Folks” as well as videos for his own band, First Aid Kit and Lykke Li. Now with one week to go, Peter Bjorn and John are excited to be releasing their eighth full-length album as they near their 20th anniversary together. They’ve enjoyed a lot of successes over their two-decade long career with singles such “Second Chance,” “It Don’t Move Me” and of course “Young Folks.” They’re also looking forward to touring this winter in the US. The short headline trek will kick off in Boston on November 29th and has them on the road in the US and Canada through mid-December.

  • Peter Bjorn and John Bio 2019
    PETER BJORN AND JOHN BIOGRAPHY 2019 It's hard to survive in the music business, but Peter Bjorn and John have done that and then some. The Swedish indie-pop trio have been triumphing via their pitch-perfect alchemy of varying sounds and styles for two decades now, and their ninth album Endless Dream is but the latest proof of the unique creative chemistry that Peter Morén, Björn Yttling, and John Eriksson have successfully worked with for so long. Every PB&J album sounds like falling in love with music for the first time, and the deceptively light confections contained on Endless Dream is the trio's latest romance. PB&J's history dates back to Morén meeting Yttling in high school, as the two dipped in and out of bands with others before deciding to get serious on their own. After auditioning for drummers, the pair discovered Eriksson in an unlikely bit of luck: "We never thought John would fit the bill because he was a classical percussionist," Morén remembers. "But we started seeing him at Sebadoh and Elliott Smith shows, so we thought maybe he was into pop music as well." The trio's first album, 2002's self-titled debut, was made on the cheap in their apartments with cracked production software that Yttling had acquired: "The recording was pretty quick. We didn't have any money at all," Morén recalls. "It was a very creative and fun period, with no pressure from anyone." 2004's Falling Out was a bit of a more considered affair, including studio time logged with the Hives' producer Pelle Gunnerfeldt.

  • Brother Leo Bio Where Does Ola End and Brother Leo Begin? “It's A
    Brother Leo Bio Where does Ola end and Brother Leo begin? “It's a question that's been rattling around in the constantly whirring mind of the Grammy nominated Swedish artist for a while, and like all good pop mysteries, may never be solved. “Brother Leo means freedom. The name comes from a reoccurring dream I had as a kid. In the dream I had a twin brother, he was a free spirit, brave, confident and always had the answers to everything. He had superpowers and his name was Leo”. A highly respected songwriter and producer in his own right, Ola Svensson has been reborn, ready to take on the world with an impressive array of songs and emotions, as Brother Leo. “The whole idea behind creating the alias was to provide an honest and creative place that forced me outside of my comfort zone. As Brother Leo I’m able to challenge and push myself as a artist and songwriter. In a way, I can be more me”. Fuelled by his winding musical journey so far, and spurred on to dig deeper into his creative expression, Ola, channelling Brother Leo, has crafted a suite of songs that are unafraid to alchemise his emotions and experiences into bold, unabashed pop anthems. These are songs for the masses, communicating universal emotions. Be they playful like the sleek ode to love, Naked, or be they heartbreaking like the redemptive hymn, Hallelujah, or the zeitgeist critical new single, Strangers on an Island; a gold-plated banger produced by British dance music legend Fatboy Slim.

  • Qs109 Lp/Cd out 4/8/08
    qs109 Lp/Cd out 4/8/08 A brief history of a full life: Peter Morén was born and raised in a little village named Vika in a region of Sweden called Dalarna. At the time, Dalarna was a landscape full of horses, mopeds, ski slopes and ice hockey, but not much music. What little music there was consisted of heavy metal or traditional fiddle-based folk music, both of which had strong followings. Guided by his grandfather’s tastes, Peter took to the latter – until he picked up his mother’s out-of-tune guitar at the age of 10 to learn a few basic chords Tim Hardin, Bert Jansch, Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, Yo La Tengo, with the express aim of writing pop songs in English. Although Leonard Cohen, Brian Eno, John Cale, Caetano Veloso, Robyn his English was fairly rudimentary, he quickly progressed, Hitchcock and The Go-Betweens – to name a few. taking cues from influences such as The Beatles, Byrds, Beach Boys, Kinks, and, for the sake of modernity, The The lyrics are reminiscent of past efforts, although more Housemartins and A-Ha (this was 1986 after all). Soon after, personal, filled with observations of everyday life, its problems he became a Dylanhead, bought a harmonica, and started and resolutions; memories of childhood are mixed with a performing covers at pizzerias and parties to the bewilderment sense of fulfillment, and the ever-present confusion that of the local populace, who often wondered why such a young follows as we move through later stages of life – or, in Peter’s boy was interested in playing such old songs.

Rob Mazzella Steadfastly schooling himself on all things percussive, he took aim at fame, landed a gig with the multi-platinum band Breaking Benjamin, and became the kind of drum- mer other drummers aspire to be. 34 JEFF DAVIS When the conversation turns to modern gospel drumming, his name is the first to be mentioned, and always with deep respect. Ladies and gentle- men, the groove is here. 40 CHRISTOPH SCHNEIDER Today, German industrial rockers Rammstein sell out stadiums across Europe and beyond.
