Swedish garage rock outfit Upploppet is back with the single »Run Like The Wind«. Featured on the Gothenburg based 5 piece’s upcoming debut album »Road Runner«, the single is an intense and explosive punk ‘n’ roll track produced by Per Stålberg (Division Of Laura Lee, Pablo Matisse) and Pontus Robertsson. »Run Like The Wind« is released on The Sign Records on the 26th of January.

The band comments: “Like a fairytale for restless and anxious people stuck in their boring and repetitive lives. We wanna induce people to do what they want and don’t let anything hinder them. Take a leap of faith no matter how big the leap is. It is at least better than wondering how it would’ve end up. We believe that everyone has been in that situation where you would sit and wonder how life would turn out if you made a choice you normally wouldn’t do.

This song is fast, and a homage to old school rock n roll! You’ll have to guess what our influences comes from!”

Biography:

Upploppet (The Riot) is the latest face on Scandirock’s Mount Rushmore and that’s not a bad sign. With the rock scene’s best mustaches, fast riffs and a floor-to-the-floor live show, they pay tribute to their predecessors in MC5, Union Carbide Productions, Gluecifer and many more influential early retirees in the only way a local band with some air under their wings can… By playing even faster, even higher and doing it for a fraction of the price, free bar and your pal’s couch to stop over before they move on to the next city, the next place, the next girl… You get where this is going.

Despite their amazingly modest success and packed schedule, the Gothenburg quintet have yet to make their album debut or be booked as the opening act for Foo Fighters’ next arena tour. But fear not those of you who read the above rant for a wet night on Hamburg’s most pub-packed street, the Reeperbahn, heard the jungle roar of the eminent The Sign Records Riot and acted when no one else dared. Two border controls, various paperwork and an overloaded family bus later, Uploppet entered the fabled Welfare Studios to, on a tight budget, record their masterpiece, the ‘magnus opel’ of their discography. With their upcoming debut, the band wants to make it clear that they are pulling from the cluster of bands that formed at the local bar after midnight and that there is no doubt whatsoever that it is Uploppet who sits on the rock throne now.
