The Swedish heavy blues rock band Ebba Bergkvist & The Flat Tire Band are set to release their second studio album »Four Wings« on the 31st of May. Following their critically acclaimed debut »Spilt Milk« from 2020, the band returns with 10 new tracks where heavy guitar riffs, raw garage rock, and soulful blues blend with powerful vocals and a psychedelic ’70s flare. While embracing a modern approach to production, the sound is firmly rooted in classic rock and blues rock heritage.
The third and final single from »Four Wings« is called »Seasick« and is released together with a music video on the 3rd of May.

Ebba on the new single: “During the hot summer of 2022, I read about a so-called “hunger stone” that reappeared in the Elbe River with a 17th-century inscription saying, “If you see me – cry.” I constructed a fictional world around the stone, and the result became the lyrics for »Seasick«. Jonas (Skeppar, guitar) contributed the riff and song title, while Errka (Peterson, mix) created the beautiful Creedence reminiscent soundscape.”

Ebba Bergkvist & The Flat Tire Band is a Swedish blues rock band who freely moves between heavy guitar riffs, raw garage rock and heartbreaking blues. With her powerful voice, Ebba Bergkvist mends the bond between the rock of the 70s and our modern soundscape, with the music’s energy as the most essential.
What started as a solo project at a music school in northern Sweden 2017 soon culminated in the EP »Alright« (2019), which after moving back to the hometown of Stockholm was followed up by the acclaimed debut album »Spilt Milk« (2020). “(…) the unfettered, and emotive playing, and Bergkvist’s excellent vocals make the album an impressive calling card.” (Pete Whalley, Get Ready To Rock!). During the covid 19-years the band released a few follow-up singles including the song »Patience« released on the International Women’s Day 2021 featuring six other female rock singers.
2023 held alongside a few live shows around Sweden the recording of the band’s second album, to be released spring 2024. The band consists of the Swedish guitarist, singer and the Junior Blues Prize of 2023 winner Ebba Bergkvist, bassist Björn Björnehult Korning, drummer Adam Randolph and Finnish guitarist Jonas Skeppar.
