GRAVEYARD OFFER TRACK-BY-TRACK COMMENTARY ON NEW ALBUM

Classic rockers GRAVEYARD from Gothenburg, Sweden has offered the following track-by-track commentary on the nine songs comprising their new studio album, Hisingen Blues.  This 100% analog recorded release will be out in Europe on March 25 and in North America on April 19^th.  It was produced, recorded, and mixed by Don Alsterberg (JOSÉ GONZALES, JUNIP, SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES, THE INTERNATIONAL NOISE CONSPIRACY) at Don Pierre Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden.

·         Ain’t Fit To Live Here

·         “Classic blues riffs, just harder and on speed, and filtered through 30-40 years of rock history.  Lyrics - frustration and the feeling that you hate everybody.”

·         No Good, Mr. Holden

·         “Introspective lyrics. A doomy and gentle song at the same time. The song melodies really stand out on this one.”

·         Hisingen Blues

·         “A fast hard song about living fast and hard. Not your general song structure. Influenced by many different types of music.”

·         Uncomfortably Numb

·         “Jokingly, we've called it the power ballad of the album. Lyrics speaks for themselves. A touch of southern rock. Suitable for making love to. Maybe.”

·         Buying Truth (Tack Och Förlåt)

·         “A bit more modern if you will, but hard and primitive. Get-drunk-and-fight-it-out vibe. Lyrics about nervous, fake, media/music industry people, and other asshole musicians that haven't got anything to bring to the table.”

·         Longing

·         “Something we'd been jamming on for a long time before we went in to the studio. But it was also very much written in the studio. Don (producer) had a lot of ideas for this one and we had kind help from a couple of friends, also.  It's a nice break with a very different instrumental on the album.”

·         Ungrateful Are The Dead

·         “Title explains most of it. It's not easy being alive. Personal lyrics. A song that we recorded a couple of times but never really were satisfied with until we made this version. Heavy. Maybe the most metal song on the album.”

·         RSS

·         “Live fast die. A party song with troublesome lyrics. And unusual backing vocals.”

·         The Siren

·         “Slow swamp blues with classic rock outbreaks and a really intense outro. Lyrics deals with a nightmare about Roky Erickson.”
