We’ve fallen pretty hard for this – the brand new single by a brand new band from Bålsta in Sweden. It’s ‘All In Or Nothing’, by Beside The Bridge. And they are Joel Chew on vocals, Ludvig Algovik on guitar, Charlie Karlgren on guitar, Niklas Wistrand on bass, and Rasmus Blomquist on drums. They’re unsigned – for now, but currently working towards their debut EP. And on the strength of new single ‘All In Or Nothing’, we’re already very excited about what’s to come. We love that they cite 00s pop music as one of their influences, and you can totally hear it in this song. An epic slice of pop-rock that sounds like the kind of thing Max Martin was penning for Marion Raven and Ana Johnson (or indeed Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson) in the mid noughties.
You can find ‘All In Or Nothing’ on our Best New Pop playlist.
