Rome Is Not A Town

Swedish noisy indie rockers Rome Is Not A Town were formed in Gothenburg in 2014, where their alarming and fuzzy sound quickly established them in the local scene.

Kajsa Poidnak (vocals, guitar), Susanna Brandin (guitar), Caroline Kabat (drums) and Emma Wättring (bass) released their debut single “Stupid” on one-sided 7” vinyl in 2015, with cover art made by Coco Gordon Moore. Another single and the EP “Careful Like You Cared” followed and their noisy sound soon went right into the hearts of everyone with a taste for raw guitars and furiously pounding songs. Since debut album, “It’s a dare” was released on classic Swedish label Startracks, late September 2017, the band`s been frequently touring around Europe (together with Thurston Moore, Refused, Tiger Lou among other) and performing at SXSW in Austin.

During the pandemic the band has been in the studio working on new material. They have used the time to reflect on their sound and how to capture the energy they deliver live back on tape. This lead to new ways of working in the studio which been developing for the quartet. The new material will be coming out in 2021/2022 with start in september. The band can´t wait to hit the stage again as soon as the restrictions ease up a bit!
