bob K plays its arena rock with much emotional energy, and offers a grandiose sound with dynamic arrangements accompanied by new thinking variations on the Scandinavian rock tradition.
bob K in its long journey has included everything from small club gigs for 40 people to arena concerts with 10 000 festival participants in the audience. Since the start in 2000, bob K approaches 100 concerts around Scandinavia and the Baltic states. Here, the band really has found its audience. The studio productions have been given both honors in magazine reviews, and played on radio in these countries.
In 2002 bob K won a talent contest for bands, that led to the first single Keeper Of My Soul. Shortly afterwards bob K got signed to record- label Eckworks, that released the selftitled album bob K and two singles, Believe and You Make Me Sing. In 2008 the band released the single Save Me on their own label. From that point the musical direction changed from the previously pretty slick sound, towards a more emotionally driven and atmospheric rock. Something that emerged as new members joined the band and come up with interesting musical influences.
After another single release, Morningstar, and ten years as a band, bob K released the second album called Fragile in 2010. A major production where the magnificent and atmospheric face emotive vocals, beautiful string arrangements and honest lyrics. A 12 tracks parade which together makes a journey through life as a fragile human being.
The Fragile Tour started together with the American artist Kevin Max (dcTalk), in late March 2010, and continued in Sweden and Lithuania. Later the same year another single, called Falling, was released.
bob K was signed up for a worldwide distribution, and Fragile was re-released on January 21:st 2011, and so was Coma, the 3:rd single from the album. The album received a warm welcome in South America, the USA and
Europe, and also two of the songs reached American Effect Radio’s Top-100-chart for 2011, among well
established artists.
During the Fall of 2010, bob K started to record the album Noir/Blanc together with American/Norwegian producer David Larring. This new album is scheduled for release in Europe in April 2012. First single, The Escape, was released February 1:st together with a remix and music video. American Effect Radio immediatelypicked up the song for its Top-30-chart. |
