From Stockholm, Sweden comes debuting BLACK PAISLEY with a musical combination
of Classic Rock, AOR and Modern Country. The band is formed by some of Sweden’s
most experienced studio and tour musicians backed up by a new songwriter and
vocalist.
The album consists of nine songs with a spread
from heavy rockers as “Run Run Run” and “Ordinary Day”, via more melodic radio
tunes like “Way To Something” and “Coming Home” but also touches the southern
rock influences with “It Ain’t Over” and “Easy”. All engineered and produced by
legendary Mats Lindfors giving the
classic rock songs a more modern and crisp sound.
In the Autumn 2014, BLACK PAISLEY
started the journey towards a first album. The Black Paisley Project is a
spinoff from StephMetal - a Swedish
cover band that had existed for many years featuring Stefan Blomqvist (vocals,
guitar), Jan Emanuelsson (bass), Robert Karaszi (drums) and Birger Lundgren. Stephmetal
won the Swedish “Company of rock” in 2009 and gigged frequently both in Sweden
and abroad (UK, Fr, Ne and No) during the 2000’s. In 2009 Robert Wirensjö also
joined the band on keyboards, adding a new touch of professionalism to the band
and their gigs. Robert had both recorded and toured with several of Sweden's
greatest artists like Michael Rickfors, Andreas Johnson among others.
The dream of making an album with own songs had often been discussed
during the time of
Stephmetal.
Blomqvist had for years written material partially tested both live and in the
rehearsal room, and subsequently felt that now was the time to make this dream
of an album become reality. The recording project was named
BLACK PAISLEY, after Ritchie Sambora’s Fender
signature guitar. In autumn of 2014 the recordings started outside Sundsvall
with producer
Johan Dereborn (former
Gaston, E-type, Takida others), where we recorded the backgrounds live and also
mixed the songs “Autumn” and “Kickin” during a couple cold November weekends.
During the Sundsvall sessions guitarist Ulf Hedin came onboard – likewise an
experienced musician and songwriter. Ulf was to become a central musical engine
in the whole
BLACK PAISLEY project
onwards. Friendly and talented drummer
Mikael
Kerslow, also guested in an honorable way in Sundsvall.
In spring of 2015 the band continued recording ”It ain’t over” and “This Is My
Day” in Stockholm, where we found spare space in Mikael Wikman’s fine drum
studio (used by
Rammstein and
others).In autumn of the same year, they decided to put more efforts into the
project and came in contact with Mats "Limpan" Lindfors (
Norum, Talisman, Meshuggah, Petter and
others) who now took over the lead of the project, both recording, mixing and
production together with Robert Wirensjö.
The rest of the songs were recorded at the prestigious Sound Trade Studios in
Solna, where bands like
Abba, Europe, and
Michael Bolton recorded. Final mastering was done at Cutting Room
Stockholm, by Mats Lindfors.
Line-up: Stefan
Blomqvist (lead guitars & vocals), Ulf Hedin (solo guitars, backing
