Debut album out now

Riddarna album

Buy the the 12″-vinyl via CDON. It shines and sparkles. Foiled sticker, a photo and codes for digital download of the album in mp3 included.

Göteborgs Posten: 4/5
”Rock is dead, long live the Knights (Swedish: Riddarna)! If you are not a music puritan, you are probably already dancing.”

Gaffa: 5/6
”It is simply wonderful. Lyssna, rock’n’rollen är död bounces and jumps like Bob Hund on amphetamine that only knows two chords, and it is probably this year’s best Swedish song.”

Norrbottens Kuriren: 4/5
”Best Track: Förbjudna saker a twisted ballad that shows that their garage rock actually has influences that are older than the hard rock genre in itself”

Kulturbloggen, albumrecension, betyg: 4/5
”Wow! That’s the first impression after listening through Riddarna’s energetic debut album. An album full of raw hard-roaring rock’n’roll and distorted desperate singing. Filled with echoes of 80’s punk and 90’s electric Thåström. Refused and Pascal mixed with a large dose of stoner rock. A modern rock’n’roll that Dennis Lyxzén would kill animals to make today. ”

Tidningen Kulturen
”… I fall unreservedly for the album which could very well be the best Swedish album this year.”

Matti Alkberg, Norrbottens Kuriren
”All I know is that I really, really like Riddarna.”

Sonic
The Cross by Prince, Bob Dylan Drifter’s Escape and Glömma Allt by Riddarna. The common denominator? Great songs with two chords.”

Umeå Open

Back from an amazing night and gig at Umeå Open! Graveyard and Sad Day for Puppets also played and they were both awesome.

Västerbottens Folkblad (local newspaper) have already reviewed the gig (4 out of 5) here.
