New Single Dropping Late May

By News, Releases

The story goes on, and something new is taking shape. It’s coming at you fast in late May.

Our next single is called Whiskey And Wine, and if you thought you knew what The Rebel Saints sounds like, this one might surprise you. It’s our most explosive track to date – a hard-driving, high-octane boogie that doesn’t let up for a single second.

Oh, and this time we didn’t do it alone.

We’ve brought in a very special guest – someone whose name you’ll recognize the moment we say it. Let’s just say we got some help on the Hammond organ and synthesizer, which ended up in a solo guitar/synth duel that takes it to the next level.

This is just the beginning. Whiskey And Wine is the first of three singles we’re releasing this summer. And we’re gonna have some fun.

More details – including who’s on board – to drop soon.

And while you’re at it – check out our latest single The Story Goes On at rebelsaints.se/the-music/
Save it on Spotify if you haven’t – it means the world to us!

Thank You – The Response Has Been Overwhelming

By News, Releases

It’s been just over a week since we released “Story Goes On” and we are truly humbled by the response we’ve received.

First and foremost, we want to thank our families and friends here in Nyköping who, as always, are the first ones to embrace everything we put out. Your support means more than words can describe – you were there from the very beginning and you’re still here. Thank you. And to all our listeners here in Sweden – tack så mycket. You are the foundation of everything we do.

But something unexpected has been happening beyond our borders. The numbers from our social media campaigns have been nothing short of extraordinary – with over 100,000 impressions and 34,000+ interactions across Europe in just a few days, Spain emerging as our strongest market by far.

And then this happened. We recently sent out our press release for “Story Goes On” to a number of Spanish rock media contacts. One of them was J.A. Lux – reviewer at Metal Hammer España and host of Rock D’Lux on Vive! Radio. His response blew us away:

“I have already played Story Goes On at my latest show. It’s a masterpiece of a track! You have a real true friend here in Spain.”

To everyone in Spain who has listened, shared and shown us love – we see you and we are deeply grateful. The story truly goes on.

¡Muchas gracias España! Sois increíbles. 🇪🇸🤘

The Story Goes On – New Single Out March 4th!

By News, Releases

It’s been a while since we last checked in, but trust us – we haven’t been sitting still.

After the incredible response to our debut album in 2024, we’ve spent the past year doing what we love most: writing and recording new music. And now, we’re ready to share the first taste of what’s been brewing in the studio.

Our new single “Story Goes On” drops on Wednesday, March 4th – and in many ways, the title says it all. This song is about the journey. The kind that doesn’t have a clear beginning or end, the kind that keeps pulling you forward no matter what. While the song has personal roots in our own musical adventure, we’ve written it to be something anyone can connect with. Because at the end of the day, we all have a story that goes on.

“Story Goes On” marks the beginning of a new chapter for The Rebel Saints. A new album is in the works, and this is the first piece of a bigger picture we can’t wait to show you.

But first things first – the single.

🎵 Pre-save “Story Goes On” on Spotify right now and be among the first to hear it on March 4th: 👉 https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/therebelsaints/story-goes-on

Thank you to everyone around the world who has streamed, shared, and added our music to their playlists. You’re the reason this particular story keeps going.

The Rebel Saints in the Studio – New Album in the Works!

By News, Releases

Hey everyone, exciting news! We’re back in the studio, working on our second full-length album. Our debut took nearly four years to complete before its release in 2024, but this time, things are moving much faster. We can’t wait to share brand-new songs with you!

Right now, we’re focusing on the first batch of five tracks. They’re still evolving, but we’re beyond excited about the new material. The creative process has been just as fun as last time, and it truly feels like a continuation of our debut.

Thomas started writing new songs last summer, building on ideas that surfaced during the recording of our first album. Songwriting is unpredictable—you never know where it will take you. But somehow, we always end up with plenty of material to record, and here we go again!

The response to our debut album, The Rebel Saints, has been amazing, especially with singles like Hammerdown, Said and Done, and Woman. This new material stays true to our sound while bringing fresh energy and depth.

As always, the chemistry between Thomas Anderberg (vocals, bass, keyboards, and drum programming) and Ola Berg (guitar and backing vocals) is the driving force behind everything we do. Get ready for some new tracks that will blow you away!

If you haven’t checked out our debut album yet, now’s the perfect time! The Rebel Saints is available on all digital platforms and on vinyl in the TRS Webshop. This journey has been incredible, and we’re pumped for what’s next.

Stay tuned on our socials for sneak peeks and updates as we get closer to releasing the first single!

TRS Debut Album on a Limited Edition Vinyl LP

By News, Releases

TRS Vinyl – Made in Sweden
After searching all over Europe for a company to press our debut album on vinyl, we finally found the perfect fit right here in Sweden. The result was well worth the wait, and we are now releasing the first 200 albums as a Deluxe Quality 180-gram vinyl LP.

About the Songs on the LP
We knew from the start that we wouldn’t be able to fit all the songs from the digital release, as a vinyl LP has a maximum of 23 minutes per side. So, we carefully selected the 9 most popular songs on Spotify in 2024 to feature on this special edition.

Get your copy now in our webshop!

More news is on the way soon. Until then, keep rocking!

The Rebel Saints – One Year Later: What’s Next?

By News, Releases

Hey everyone, long time no see!

One of our last posts back in spring 2024 was about a Swedish hard rock podcast in Stockholm, where we had the chance to chat for an hour about our debut album. During the interview, we got hit with an unexpected question: If they arranged a gig at one of Sweden’s music festivals, would we show up and play live?

Honestly, when we first recorded the songs, our only goal was to collect some old and new material, release them on Spotify, and share them with family and friends. Never in our wildest dreams did we expect the album to rack up over 170,000 streams in its first year and land on 7,900 playlists!

So far, we’ve had 53,000 listeners worldwide, with most of you tuning in from the U.S., Germany, Brazil, and Spain, besides our home country, Sweden. Our music has even made it onto radio stations in the U.S., Mexico, Spain, the U.K. and just recently, Poland! – not to mention our very first interview, which was done by our local radio station just days after we released our debut single, Hammerdown.

We can’t thank you enough for the love and support! It’s been an incredible ride, and we appreciate every single one of you.

So… What’s Next?

The big question last summer was, What now? Many of you asked if we’d form a band and play live. Thomas decided to take the summer off to focus on songwriting first and see if there was more music waiting to be written. Just like in 2020—when the songs for our debut album were born—this creative break would perhaps turn into something bigger.

And that brings us to today, almost a year after we were in the middle of releasing our first three singles. So, what now? Well… stay tuned, because things are about to happen!

Let’s kick things off with something special: our debut album is coming to vinyl! We’re also launching our very own merch shop, where you can grab your copy of the vinyl LP, along with some awesome t-shirts and accessories.

More news is on the way soon. Until then, keep rocking!

Thanks to Ronnie @ BLP for working that magic

By News

From the start of recording TRS’s debut album, there was a desire to include an external co-producer for mixing and mastering the tracks. After careful consideration, the choice fell on experienced musician Ronnie Björnström from Sundsvall. Ronnie, who runs Björnström Sound and Productions, has extensive experience working with metal bands and is himself an active guitarist in Mezzrow, a thrash metal band originating from Nyköping whose debut album “Then Came The Killing” was released in 1990, around the same time as TRS’s debut single “Hammerdown” was created.

Ronnie Björnström is well-known as a sound wizard in the metal world and has previously collaborated with bands like Sorcerer, Meshuggah, and 220 Volt, among others. His solid background in the genre was one of the main reasons he was chosen as co-producer for TRS’s project. Ola and Thomas, particularly curious about exploring how TRS would sound with a slightly heavier tone, were inspired by Ronnie’s insights and fresh ideas, which not only enhanced the overall sound but also took the concept to new heights.

The result exceeded both Ola and Thomas’s expectations, and with Ronnie’s contribution as co-producer, a final product and sound were defined that characterize TRS in a distinct way.

TRS debut album out now!

By News, Releases

The Rebel Saints (TRS) are releasing their self-titled debut album for those who enjoy classic melodic 70s/80s hard rock. The album is a mix of old songs written in the 1990s that have never been released, combined with new ones written along the way during a 3-year recording process. The debut single, “Hammerdown,” was released in January 2024, followed by two more singles, “Said And Done” and “Woman,” released in February.

The singles make up 3 out of the 12 songs on the debut album, which is now being released on selected digital platforms and will also be released on vinyl in the future. “It’s a joy to finally release these songs to the public after this insanely fun musical journey. We hope that everyone who has enjoyed what we’ve released so far will continue to get a kick out of what we’ve done.”

This is independent, locally produced Swedish hard rock. Crank it up in the car, at home, or at a party with friends. Play it loud!
