It can sometimes be very surprising to learn what sounds reach Europe from the Swedish forests. When Tribe Friday released their debut, “Bubblegum Emo” (2022), two years ago and then caused the crowd to break into a sweat at Reeperbahn Festival, even die-hard indie fans were amazed. The trio have this very special knack for catchy pop-punk melodies and a pronounced desire for provocation, which is reflected in song lyrics, cover art, and music videos. The fact that they are hitting the post-pandemic vibe of Gen Z right in the heart should now be clear not only to the band, but also to their fans. Tribe Friday master harsh indie sounds amidst an emotionally charged delivery just as well as the resounding songwriting of legends of the calibre of The Strokes. In preparation for their highly anticipated second album, “Hemma”, which is due to be released in October, they will be visiting us a few weeks beforehand and giving us a special preview.
