Action Rock. The title of the infectious opening track – “Woo-hoo!” – of the new release by Swedish four-piece Åskväder gives a pretty good indication of what to expect. Albin Sörenson (vocals), Martin Gut (guitar), Kammo Olayvar (bass) and Tim Ferm (drums) play dirty rock ‘n’ roll with mean guitar riffs, a high-energy rhythm section and charismatic vocals. The other four songs on the Electric Tide EP, heard as singles earlier this year, are just as exciting, but three times longer than the one minute they kick off with. This sound may be old school, but it will always remain fashionable in our world.
Electric Tide is out now digitally through for The Sign Records.
