ALLT FALLER

Song: Yeah Yeah Wow Wow by Martin Svensson

Town: Stockholm
Members: Johan Malmborg, Linus von der Burg and Jimmy Brunkvist

Veterans on the pop-punk scene. According to themselves they actually only needed an excuse to meet up, hang out and play some music when they started the band, back in 2013. Now seven years has passed, three EP’s has been released and a whole bunch of gigs has passed. But if you ask them, Allt Faller is still only an excuse to meet up, hang out and play some pop-punk. One things for sure, if the song isn’t about memories, party or Stockholm, it isn’t one of Allt Faller’s songs.

It was the first song I could think of when I was asked to take part of the project. It’s a song that has kept me company through some of my worst days, and also some of my best days. It talks to me about hope, which is something I also wants to mediate with my version of the song.

Members: Marcus Vik

Born and raised in Norberg, and is the frontman of the Texas-based  metalcore-band ’Invent Animate’. When not creating the “hard tones” he prefers to create music that he hopes will touch the soul of the listeners. This is when he is focused steering up deep atmospheric feelings with the listener. He does this by  using melodic settings among other things. Marcus is inspired by artists like Pvris, Apparat and Low Roar. 

 

This is what Marcus has to say about his song of choice, Lakan by Newkid:

When I found out I was offered a spot on this album I immediately felt the need to do something emotional. I started by looking through songs of my childhood but found nothing I felt could fit with my vision. Until I found the song Lakan by Newkid. A song and an artist I’ve never heard before. But I brought out similar emotions in the song, as the ones I was looking to bring out. So then and there I made my  choice.

I’ve had great help from the former bandmember and friend; Linus Korpi, making this cover.

The song ‘5 minuter’ is a song about sorrow and desperation. Something we as a band has approached before. Therefore it felt like a natural choice for us.

Genre: Metalcore
Town: Stockholm
Members: Vincent Rylander, Kenny Silvergren, Ludvig Svensson and Thomas Östling

A young band from Stockholm. In 2019 they released their first EP with a sound they themselves describes as classic metalcore. A sound that feels like a face punch, with hard drums and rhythmic guitars. During 2020 they have used their free time in the footsteps of the pandemic, to lift their sound to new heights. From now on, we’ll see influences from 80s synth, in combination with dark undertones, low guitars and anxious- & emotional singing.

 

This is what Torments has to say about their song of choice, Bara Vara Mig Själv by Laleh

’Bara får vara mig själv’ is a song with lyrics that has had a huge impact on our lives. Apart from that the lyrics also touches some of the important things you need, to feel well, and to have a healthy own-worth. Something that’s easily lost in the shadow of evaluation, requirements and norms. We are very proud to present our interpretation of Lalehs song, and to put it into new light.
