The Hyper Actives

Some years ago (2005) The Hellacopters declared that Rock & Roll Is Dead on the album with the same name. The Hyper Actives, hailing from Stockholm have put on their super hero suits, though, in an effort to revive the genre on their debut album “Rock’nRoll Lives Again”. And when they race down the street in their high-speed Hyper-Active-mobile, fueled with adrenaline, joy of playing and rock energy, it’s easy to believe them. I don’t headbang, but I can feel it in my stomach, I start singing along with the catchy choruses, arms and legs begin to move and we bang our beer bottles hard against each other making the beer spray all over our clothes.

They have a lot in common with The Hellacopters, maybe more in their common roots rather from how they sound. The glam rock from the eighties can be sensed in the energy and the melodies, but most of all I feel the air from the straight three-chord rock and punk that once made me pick up my air guitar in my boy room and dream that I was a rock star, listening to and singing “High Voltage”, “Sheena Is a Punk Rocker”, “Wine Women and Song” and why not “Tutti Frutti”?

The Hyper Actives consist of the trio Jonte Skogsbrand (guitars, backing vocals), Jens Holst (vocals, bass) and Danne Berg (drums). They are planning the release of two EP:s during spring with material that was recorded during the album sessions, and in Summer they start working on the next album.
