Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with Brandsta City Släckers
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
Listening to Radio Luxenburg when I was young, and discover Beatles and Stones.
They were always first with the latest music.
How did your passion for creating music begin?
In very early years. But it took to my first listening of ELO and A New World Record when I did get more interested in how they do. Also a great passion for how to record records like that,
What’s the story behind your current music project?
We have participated in the swedish mellocontest once before in 2002 and it was a great succes. We played at 2025 as an intermission and did get a great resonce from the audience. And we feelt like we could do this one ore time. Now 2026 Anders (who wrote Kaj -Bara bada bastu )teamed up with us and wrote this new song for us ( Rakt in i elden ) and it has been a huge succes for us so far.We finished in fifth place. Now we are on tour and are booked the whole summer.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
The sound is pop with some rock mixed. When we play live our main goal is to make the people smile and have a good time, as we always have.
What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?
All the new software. Ai can be a really nice person to test things with, but at the same time take the heart away from the music. More and more you depend on how good your demo is. To present it for an a/r it has to be a nearly finished song. And you have to compete against so many more talented persons.
What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?
Protools for recording. Guitar. Drumsampler. And my voice.
Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?
So many really good band. But…
Native Construct, Shayfer James, Bleu, Burn the ballroom, Reno Bo, Dear Hunter.
And a Swedish band Sardo Numspa witch i have recorded in my studio.
How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?
A great deal I must say. A song is a reflektion of my feeling there and then.
But it can also be a song with no really meaning more than fun.
What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?
To feel the same as I do when I whrote the song.
What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?
That music is a universal tool. Even a song without a singer can grab hold on you.
What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?
Raelly dont have a dream venue. I just wanna perform for an audience an dhave fun.
If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?
Jeff Lynne would be nice. And Peter Gabriel because he is so variegated.
Where can our listeners follow and support your music? (Website,Spotify, IG, links)
Looking toward the future, what’s your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?
To bee able to do what we in the band do right now for a long time.
What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?
This is a band that deliver warmyh, joy, and a really good time together.
