InfluencesOur lives in Stockholm, friends, girlfriends, stories and of course - other bands and artists.
Sounds LikeEnergetic, blistering, sparkling, fresh, fun, festive.


"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 hailing from Sweden like Mando Diao and like Mando Diaos influences like The Beatles and Stones. 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 >>

After underground rock band Insert Coin split up in the beginning of 07, brothers Gabriel and Christian Alares decided to form a new band, inspired by 60's til' present British pop and rock bands. They hired guitarist Mikael Hörnaeus and bass player Johannes Lindberg, and 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 scenes of Stockholm, the name of the band naturally became: The Fast Forwards.

The first four tunes were written and later recorded at a studio in Södermalm called Zoo Studion, produced by close friend and Kamera guitarist Linus Wiklund.

After their first demo was recorded, Scottish internet radio station NetSounds quickly started playing songs like "As Long As We Don't Fake", "The Vicious Sandstorm" and "The Wardrobe Man's Night Out" on a regular basis as they quickly started getting a reputation online, without ever having played a single live show. These songs also gained interest from bookers in several countries around Europe.

In February 2008, after a three month break during the winter, bassist Johannes Lindberg had to leave the band in favour of now emerged artist Ida Maria. As a result of him going away to have chit-chats with Morrissey and Ian Brown in the backstage areas around the UK, Anders Axelsson (now replaced by Magnus Nilsson) came in as replacer and the band started rehearsing to arrange the songs Gabriel had written during his winter travelling.


The Fast Forwards sound reminds of the British indie-scene-bands like The Pigeon Detectives, The Wombats, Arctic Monkeys and The Rakes, and has been said to sound like “The Beatles playing in a garage in the 21st century”.
