Posted by http://www.nostalgoteket.se The Pusher at Taubescenen, Liseberg, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Pontus Karlsson (drums), Jakke Erixson (vocals, bass), Karl-Ola Solem
(guitar, girls), and John Hårleman (keyboards) grew up in different parts
of Sweden and paid their dues with different bands and artists. However
each member's individual history loses all significance when The Pusher
enter the stage.
The members came together four years ago and spent an entire summer
hanging out at a Stockholm studio. Eating fast food, drinking cheap
beer, and making music. They soon discovered that they had a unique
chemistry, musically as well as personally.
"You can see it in someone's eyes if they're on the same page. If they
have the drive and urge to take it all the way", says Jakke. "The synergy
was there, the talent was there -- and the determination. Needless to say
the rest has been hard work, writing, re-writing, arranging and producing.
And sometimes going back to find a different angle, or take something
that's near-perfect to the next level. Which is just as fun and rewarding.
We just won't rest until each song has reached its full potential".
Judging from their debut single, Blinded By The Dark, the attitude has
paid off: it went straight to number one on Swedish iTunes.
