Jess it's post rock, it's hard, it's Riddarna, what's not to love? Favorite track: Kolla kolla.

Er Idk, I just love it Favorite track: Över gränsen.

Yuul I don't know a single Swedish word but I feel the weight and energy of each song regardless. I did get sent here by Hotline Miami 2's soundtrack I'll admit. Never thought I'd buy a Swedish album but here I am. One of the best musical works I've had the pleasure of listening to. Favorite track: Simma hem.

Vinyl (LP) version of Riddarna´s "Under Jorden" album. Comes in purple and black colored vinyl in full colour sleeves and with printed inner sleeves. CD-version and download card included.

It is chance that determines whether you get purple or black vinyl. We like to keep it interesting!

Under Jorden is filled with frustration, angst and a wish to get away, anywhere. The band has a sound of new wave / postpunk combined with art / noise rock that reminds of Sonic Youth, Fugazi and that feeling of the 90´s – a decade when the band grew up on the isolated island of Gotland outside the Swedish cost. During this period, the music scene exploded and new interesting music as Refused´s “The Shape of Punk to Come” changed history at the same time as the American label Sub Pop with bands like Nirvana paved the way for a new kind of skewed melancholic music, and heavy rock acts like Queens of the Stone Age opened new doors for heavy, experimental and dark music. Riddarna fed hungrily on the music revolution of this era and grew up, and now, that time is gone forever but lives on with Riddarna – and their third album is a desperate cry and a fresh injection of pure rock. The track Simma Hem was included in the video game Hotline Miami 2.

about

Under Jorden, Riddarnas third album, is filled with frustration, angst and a wish to get away, anywhere. The band has a sound of new wave/postpunk combined with art/noise rock that reminds of Sonic Youth, Fugazi and that feeling of the 90's – a decade when the band grew up on the isolated island of Gotland outside the Swedish cost. During this period, the music scene exploded and new interesting music as Refused's “The Shape of Punk to Come” changed history at the same time as the American label Sub Pop with bands like Nirvana paved the way for a new kind of skewed melancholic music, and heavy rock acts like Queens of the Stone Age opened new doors for heavy, experimental and dark music. Riddarna fed hungrily on the music revolution of this era and grew up, and now, that time is gone forever but lives on with Riddarna. ”Under jorden” is a desperate cry and a fresh injection of pure rock. The track Simma Hem was included in the video game Hotline Miami 2.

“They have a DIY-like approach to the sound, with elements of new wave, psychedelia and classic rock”
– Gaffa Norway (Album review of “Under Jorden”: 5/6)

“Dark and gloomy stoner pop from our Swedish friends”
– Musikknyheter.no (Album review of “Under Jorden”: 8/10)

“The Knights weapon sharpens for each record”
– Göteborgsposten (The Gothenburg post) (Album review of “Under Jorden”: 4/5)

“Gritty punk, gorgeous pop hooks and desperation in a magical way. The inventiveness seems to have no limits.”
– Sundsvalls Tidning (Album review of “Under Jorden”: 4/5)

“Check out Riddarna if you ever liked Dinosaur jr, Sonic Youth or Fugazi”
– Gävle dagblad (Album review of “Under Jorden”: 4/5)

“A skilled blend of psychedelic rock, garage and raw energy. To make such a heavy dose of 70’s influences sound both vital and explorative is an achievement.”
– Svenska Dagbladet (The Swedish Daily Paper) (Album review of “Under Jorden”: 4/6)

“Their compact rock is alive in the contemporary context and their strong feelings – anger, desperation, sincerity and hope – are by all means highly acute.”
– Nöjesguiden (Entertainment Guide) (Album review of “Under Jorden”: 4/6)

“Riddarna’s loud and skewed rock has become even darker. “Under jorden” captivates with sounds from the 70’s and raw anguish”
– Aftonbladet (One of Sweden’s biggest daily magazines)

“the perfect mix between stoner power, melody and despair. I guess Swedish people with taste are aware this band is one of the best thing that happened to Swedish rock music during the last decade”
– Absolut Noise
