STRÖM IS BACK!
Barely 17 months after the release of the critically acclaimed debut album Ström, it´s time for album number two “En Orkan På Vår Sida“. Ström is a brilliant mix of good classic hard rock and rock n roll. Musically, you can of course pull the AC/DC card, but with the band name STRÖM, anyone understands that the loving reference is completely intentional.
It is close at hand to name-drop other similes if you feel like it, such as eighties-Kiss, early The Darkness, Airbourne, Hardcore Superstar, Guns ‘n’ Roses and Bon Jovi when they were still good, Backyard Babies, Sator, Dundertåget, yes, you understand. Someone said the vocals sounds like a young Roffe Wikström, another thought there are similarities with seventies-Magnus Uggla, Wilmer X, Noice and Hoola Bandoola Band. But ultimately and best of all, STRÖM doesn’t sound like any of these, rather like all of them at the same time. And the vocals are sung with Smålandish dialect, with lyrics that feel real, both in a light-hearted sense and in a more serious context.
This is what the band has to say about the album:
Finally it is here, our second record. “En Orkan På Vår Sida “. Full of howling vocals and electric guitar solos. We are extremely proud of this album, which we think sounds so damn good. The genre is classic Hard Rock from Småland, Sweden. More STRÖM for the people!
