Neverstore

The trio, which played their very first song together in 2000, consists of Jacob Widén on vocals and guitar, Oscar Kempe on bass and Erik Lantz on drums. Since their teenage years, they have provided a soundtrack to their own lives as well as the ones of many others. With their roots in punk pop and with the music as a ticket, they departed from Skövde, Sweden out into the rest of the world where they have been compared to and mentioned aside bands such as Sum 41, Green Day, Weezer and blink-182. The debut album Sevenhundred Sundays quickly followed the first single "So much of not enough" in 2007, and that same year Neverstore won its first MTV Europe Music Award for Best Swedish Act. Next to that trophy, the following year the band could place another from the same category, and the catalogue expanded with another album, Heroes Wanted. In 2010, the album Age of Hysteria was released, and for the recording of the single "Summer", the band stepped into the studio together with Deryck Whibley of Sum 41. The self-titled fourth album was released in 2013. Although never really gone, Neverstore are now returning with brand new music. After two decades of rehearsing, touring, and living, summarizes the band's story up until now, bordered by their shared setbacks and, more importantly, successes. It leaps from the past and catapults us into the sequel of Neverstore's story, of what comes next. ~ Gabriella Varini Viotto
