The Pusher - Cracks In The Pavement, Liseberg, 2012 video free download

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.
