  • The Confusions is an indie pop band from Sundsvall, Sweden. The band was formed in the early 1990s. The breakthrough album, "Everyone's Invited", along with "Six-0-Seven, were produced by Peter Svensson of The Cardigans. In 1997, The Confusions and Massproduktion signed with Stockholm Records, but were quickly released after Stockholm Records was bought by Universal 10. The Confusions formed in 1991 by a gang of childhood friends in the suburb of Skönsberg of Sundsvall – an industrial town in the north, better known for its punk, postpunk and metal scene. But being an outsider can be sometimes be to your advantage. And the band took that chance and developed quick. Only five years later - their second album “Everyone’s Invited” - produced by Peter Svensson from The Cardigans, smashed all the doors open to numerous releases and tours all over the world. It was crowned with the title of “one of this year’s five top album” by Record Collector. Some years later a gig at SXSW would open the door for some touring of US and finally also a Nordic MTV no 1 for the video to The Pilot. Things don’t always turn out the way it should, but the band survived all the ups and downs of an indie band, still constantly touring developing and releasing records. Building a bond between the members that is really special. After a challenging period, the band built a studio in their rehearsal room and 2008 recorded the more than one hour long self-produced album “The Story Behind the Story” that by many was regarded as their finest work and also found a working method by recording and producing in their own studio. In early 2020 the band played two hours show in hometown Sundsvall with tracks from all their 30 years and felt it was time to gather some of the latest releases and combine with the new stuff, the double vinyl album "Black Silhouettes". Live they are a stunning band and this album also proves their impressive songwriting skills and passion for their own musical universe. The band won the SMA Award for Best Album for 5am at the Fourth Sundsvall Music Awards. (en)

Men att vara en outsider kan ibland vara till din fördel. En stark vänskap och ”Vi mot världen”-känsla gjorde att bandet utvecklades snabbt. Fem år senare skulle deras andra album "Everyone’s Invited" - producerat av Peter Svensson från The Cardigans, sälja 15 000 ex och öppna alla dörrar med europaturné och fina recensioner över världen. Record Collector kallade plattan "ett av årets fem bästa album". Några år senare skulle en spelning på SXSW öppna dörren för några turnéer i USA och slutligen även en nordisk MTV-etta för videon till The Pilot 2002. Som i sin tur gav spelningar i Ryssland och Baltikum och på senare år har bandet även hunnit med spelningar i Kina och fått en växande publik i Sydamerika och Mexiko. Efter en motig period byggde bandet en studio i sin replokal och 2008 spelade in det mer än en timme långa egenproducerade albumet "The Story Behind the Story", av många betraktades som deras finaste verk och även hittade ett nytt arbetssätt genom att spela in och producera i sin egen studio. I början av 2020 spelade bandet en två timmars show i hemstaden Sundsvall.Länk till liveshow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K1f1b241nk Live är de ett fantastiskt band och detta album bevisar också deras imponerande låtskrivarfärdigheter och passion för sitt egensnickrade musikaliska universum. På det senaste albumet, dubbelvinylen "Black Silhouettes" hittar du allt från lo-fi-indie-groove, enkla indiepoplåtar till melodisk post-punkenergi, ett imponerande album av ett band som förfinat sitt hantverk. Att gå tillbaka till kvartettformatet har givit musiken mer luft, lekfullhet och en ny tydlighet. Låten figurerade även i den amerikanska tv-serien Road Rules,samt vann pris för bäst låt på Sundsvall Music Awards, 2004. (sv)
