Sounds Like"The Fast Forwards expresses loads of self-confidence, they own the stage already before the first chord is played and they treat us in the audience as if we were standing on Ullevi Stadium. Very refreshing. They sound unbelievably good and very tight."

-Mattias Skeppstedt, Groove Magazine (Sweden)


"Stockholm based band The Fast Forwards write infectious rift laden tunes determined to lodge in your brain at the first listen in the same way that the best elements of The Strokes and Oasis have."

-NetSounds (Scotland)


"The Fast Forwards energetic 60s-influed music with strong choruses is a natural continuation on what began with The Who, continued with The Jam and what in Sweden is represented by Mando Diao."

-Webfinanser.com (Sweden)


"Imagine The Beatles forming in a garage in 2007. They'd probably sound like The Fast Forwards"

-FightClub (Sweden)


"The Fast Forwards are from Stockholm, the Venice of the north. Their sound is similar to other great bands like The Pigeon Detectives and The Strokes. The Fast Forwards recently released new excellent songs like "The More I Drink", and "Noone Left". Check them out!"

-Salatblatt Magazine Online 5 2008 (Germany)


"Sing-along-friendly indie pop/rock with strong choruses is provided by the Stockholm-four piece The Fast Forwards. They're aiming to sound sparkling and fresh and has definitely got it right"

-Groove Magazine 2, 2008 (Sweden)


"Super pop/rock from Stockholm"

-Pure Radio Kaos (Canada)


"YOU GUYS ARE F*CKING AMAZING"

-Gigs In Your Area (England)

   About The Fast Forwards >>










The Fast Forwards >>

The Fast Forwards >> has been around for a bit more than two years. During this period they've played at some of Sweden's biggest festivals (Peace&Love, Arvika, Kilafors Rockweekend), in London, Vienna and pretty much every club venue worth visiting in Sweden. Their sound has been said to remind of both new and old bands (The Clash, Arctic Monkeys, The Beatles, to name a few) but with an energetic, unique twist both live and in the studio (captured by producer Thomas Rusiak).

2007: Brothers Gabriel and Christian Alares decide to form a new band, inspired by 60's til' present British pop and rock bands. They hire guitarist Mikael Hörnaeus and bass player Johannes Lindberg (now in Ida Maria), with the ambition to write really strong songs and break big without having to struggle for years at sub par venues in the underground indie scene of Stockholm.

The first four tunes are written and later recorded at a studio in Södermalm, Stockholm. Scottish internet radio station NetSounds quickly hear the songs on Myspace and start playing their demos on a regular basis. The band instantly begins making a name for them selves online without ever having played a single live show.

2008: Signs with their first management and Sony Ericsson wants a song featured in their upcoming mobile phone. The song “Don’t Let Go” is chosen. A time consuming change of bass player and struggles with said management keeps the band from really flourishing. Mikael and Gabriel start writing more songs together, adding originality to The Fast Forwards >> sound. The band plays their first shows abroad in London.

2009: After winning a national music contest, Festival bookers start gaining interest, and the band play some of the biggest festivals in Sweden (Peace & Love, and Arvika to name a few). “As You Were” is also chosen by a Russian extreme sport company to be featured in their latest movie. Famous producer/emerged artist Thomas Rusiak calls and offers his services, and they start working on their debut album. They also put on a beloved show in legendary venue Chelsea, Vienna.

Hej! Hoppas sommaren är fullbokad av spelningar och att musiken rullar på! Vad sägs om att göra en multikanal inspelning av ett live gig för att sedan mixa det och synkronisera det mot video? Det blir en snygg video man kan länka via Youtube till exempel, någonting son visar hur i verkligheten musiken låter, du kan även lägga den på din Myspace mm. Här kommer ett exempel: Vill du veta mera? skicka ett mail till pedrumtz@yahoo.se Hör av dig.

What's goin' on The Fast Forwards >>? In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem. I desire to see life through your hallucinations so that they massage my viscera into an eternal state of turgid flux. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. So charmingly silky, your skin is like a teardrop on a popsickle. Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. You turn the atmosphere ablaze with currents of sweet ethylene when you smile. Panoramic aromavision is the future. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs.
