Products description
Swedish punk rockers City Saints is thrilled to announce the release of their highly anticipated new studio album: “Explosiv!” is the band’s sixth album since forming in Gothenburg in 2012. Since then the band have toured all over Europe several times and reached millions of streams.
City Saints has gained a reputation for their energetic “take no prisoners” attitude and catchy choruses. “Explosiv!” is no exception. The album works as an homage to the band’s hometown Gothenburg, both in the lyrics and in the musical influence of the Gothenburg punk scene in the late 70’s and early 80’s. “Explosiv!” kicks off with a surprise in the Ennio Morricone inspired “Göta Älv”. This moody number paves way for a string of high paced anthemic songs such as “Majorna” and “På G” , where the smell of the Ramones is instant. The band’s love for down and dirty rock’n’roll is prominent in “Blod & Bly” and “Kranarnas Stad”. More surprises come in form of the title track, where a wild bass solo is featured, and the outro “Fan Ta Er” which is a short live cut done in an intimate setting with just vocals and harmonica performed to a stompy beat.
City Saints has once again worked with producer Chips Kiesbye, renowned for his work with The Hellacopters and Michael Monroe. The result is a natural sounding record, reminiscent of the stripped-down productions from the golden age of punk rock. The band took full advantage of Kiesbye’s talent, having the Sator singer/guitarist perform both mandolin and accordion on “Explosiv!”.
The LP comes as Collectors Edition on 180gr. Vinyl with Gatefolder in classical black and 2 limited, different colors:
