New Audio: Up-and-Coming Gothenburg-based Indie Rock Quartet Releases An Ambitious and Arena Rock Friendly 7 Inch Single

Earlier this year, I wrote about the Gothenburg, Sweden-based indie rock/noise rock quartet, Rome Is Not A Town, and as you may recall with the release of attention grabbing single “Stupid,” their Careful Like You Cared EP and last year’s full-length debut It’s a Dare, the band comprised of  Kajsa Poidnak, Susanna Brandin, Caroline Kabat, and Emma Wättring, quickly received attention from both domestic and international music media with the leading Scandinavian magazine Gaffa giving the band nominations in three categories during last year’s Gaffa Awards — Best Live Act, Best Band and Best Pop/Rock Act.  Since then, the band has been building upon a growing international profile with their Stateside debut at this year’s SXSW, and they celebrated that momentous occasion with the Sonic Youth and The Breeders-like single “21/27.”

This summer, the up-and-coming Gothenburg-based indie rock quartet will be touring across Germany and Sweden to support their recently released “Can You Feel the Rush”/”Nothing to Claim” 7 inch single, which will further cement their reputation for crafting 120 Minutes–era indie rock, complete with fuzzy power chords and sneering vocals — but the band’s newest material is arguably the most ambitious of their young careers, as it finds them writing some of their most self assured and arena rock friendly songs they’ve released to date; in fact, “Can You Feel the Rush” and “Nothing to Claim” are jagged and jangling tracks centered around four-on-the-floor drumming and some impressive and explosive guitar pyrotechnics.
