LONGER TEXT:
Crash Nomada is a Folk Punk band based in Stockholm. The music is a unique hybrid of folk music from around the world, charged with electric punk rock energy. The core of the band formed around 2006 and quickly gained a reputation for wild and intense live performances. Crash Nomada has been labelled as one of Sweden’s best live band numerous times over the years.
The latest album En rispa i evigheten (released 2022 on legendary punk label Birdnest Records) reflects the band’s musical span, where they move seamlessly between d-beat hardcore, calm ballads, folk metal and 80s-scented folk rock, but above all land in their danceable and pulsating folk punk. The music is fired up by virtuoso violin and accordion, a pulsating rhythm section and raw organic electric guitar. The songs were recorded live in the studio to capture the directness and nerve.
