  • Bio

    Rock 'n soul band Love in Stockholm emerged in 2007 from the basement parties of Allston, a low-rent neighborhood of Boston packed with college kids and musicians. They soon gained a reputation for their wild live performances, complete with blasting horns and frontman Charlie Rockwell's guttural wail. Their newest release, A King's Ransom (fall 2010), is the band's first full-length record, and pays homage to classic rock greats like Joe Cocker, The Band, and Sly and the Family Stone. They began recording in early 2010, under the guide of two recent Berklee College of Music grads, and embarked on a grueling recording schedule that would have them in the studio at all hours, sometimes recording as many as 100 tracks on one song. The entirely fan-funded record marks a turning point for the group, who are now gearing up for a Spring and Summer tour that will take them halfway across the country and back. The album hit stores in early October and has sold over 100 copies in a month. It's also already generating press and blog buzz. The Boston Phoenix calls the album "the only [Boston] release akin to the Black Crowes' "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" and The Weekly Dig says, "A King's Ransom is Love in Stockholm's official announcement that they're here." With the record getting rotation on college radio stations all over the country, LiS now embarks on their biggest tour to date that will take them out of the Northeast and halfway across the country. This summer is a busy one for Love in Stockholm, and promises to break open doors for the Boston group. "We feel like we're right on the cusp, and that's an exciting feeling," says Rockwell. "We have no idea what happens next."
