Repeat releases debut single

Newcomer trio Repeat is a rising star in the Swedish alternative rock scene, bursting onto the musical stage with their eponymous debut single, “Repeat.” The band, comprising Torbjörn Hallberg, Johan Holmberg and Mattias Belin, showcases their distinctive sound, blending elements of stoner rock and alternative rock.

“Repeat” is a raucous introduction to the band’s ethos. It opens with a wail of feedback from an electric guitar, immediately grabbing the listener’s attention. This then erupts into an electrifying performance, driven by a relentless guitar riff and thundering drums. The band’s energy is palpable, exuding a punk-inspired fervour that reverberates throughout the track.

Fronted by Torbjörn Hallberg’s charismatic lead vocals, “Repeat” employs a clever irony by incorporating repetition into its lyrical structure. This stylistic choice not only reinforces the song’s title but also amplifies its raw, high-octane delivery. The track becomes an anthem of sorts, drawing listeners into its infectious chorus with each repetition.

The fusion of stoner rock, desert rock and alternative rock elements creates a sound that stands at the intersection of these genres. The result is a modern rock cut that carries an abundance of swagger and attitude. It’s a track that channels the spirit of rock’s rebellious roots while infusing it with a contemporary edge that resonates with a wide array of rock music enthusiasts.

“Repeat” serves as a compelling teaser for the band’s eponymous album, scheduled for release on October 6th, 2023. This debut album promises to offer more of the same powerful sound that defines Repeat. Recorded and produced by Joakim Lindberg at Studio Sickan in April 2023, the album’s sonic qualities are in capable hands. The mastering, handled by Magnus Lindberg at Redmount Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, ensures that the band’s unique sound is presented in its full glory.

As “Repeat” blares through your speakers, it’s impossible not to succumb to the infectious energy and attitude that this emerging band offers. Repeat’s debut single and the forthcoming debut album will firmly establish the band as an exciting new act within the alternative rock scene.

Commenting on their upcoming debut record, the band shares, “The idea behind the album is to provide a short and explosive experience of repetitive aggressive songs. We truly prefer the short formats and a direct presence. The mix of stoner rock and alternative rock with loud very fuzzy guitars, rumbling bass, and aggressive yet stiff drums, bring a unique progressive style of our own.”
