Before we moved on to Italy we hade a gig in Mora Sweden. It was one of those event things.
We arrived to a 20° weather Italy and the summer feeling was back. After a while the guys in Sister showed up. They turned out to be really cool ppl. All three gigs were great and the crowd was even better. Thanx to all that came out to see us.
I played on rented gear. You never know if the company are going to get the amps that you want but I was not disappointed. There were 2 jcm 800 Zakk Wylde 100W heads and 4 cabs waiting for me. You can’t go wrong with Marshall.
I actually bought a new amp and a new guitar, but more on that in a later blog. We did something that hcss never did before, we opened all three Italy gigs with ”Someone special” and the crowd loved it.
Tavastia-Helsinki
Finally back in Finland. The crowd was ok but not how they usually are in Helsinki, I guess it was because it was tuesday and work was waiting the next day.
I had a good time. The party was awesome as usual. Our good friend Jussi from The 69 Eyes did the intro to Guestlist and after the show we joined him at his club for a great time. The drinks were on the house=)
After we got thrown out after closing time, the party continued on the bus.
Lutakko-Jyväskylä
Much better gig today. The crowd was way better then yesterday. We got a feedback from them, and that makes it easier.
Sejnäjoki.
Same place as the last time and the double the amount of ppl. I had a great time on stage aswell. Me, Martin and Adde had a dare to see who can stand the longest to not go on stage on time. Martin won…bastard. Next time I’ll just go and lay down backstage.
I thing we broke some record today when we played Last call for alcohol. There were almost more ppl on stage then in the crowd during the song. We kind of try to break the record every night we play it.
Pakkahoune-Tampere
Today was pure magic. It was just one of those days where everything was is the way it is supposed to be.
We sold more then dubbel the amount of tickets then when we played in Tampere last time, and the promotors had to move it to the bigger venue just next door. Our good friend Antti, from Negative did the intro to Guestlist. Hardcore Superstar at it’s best ppl.
Klubii-Turku
Sold out, But today was just not my day. I have never had such a bad sound on stage. No matter what i did with the sound it just did not get better. I tried not giving a fuck and enjoy the last show in Finland but the shit-sound got the best of me.
I’t was not a bad gig, but compared to the night before i’t was not that good.
I always try to find something positive in every show, and tonight I actually played some songs better than last night.
Got sooo damn ill after the Västeråsgig, I felt it before the show and just before we went on stage. I got the tourmanager to place 2 buckets on each side of the stage just in case I had to puke. And it was close, I had to rush off the stage after the last song, there was no time to thank the crown. I locked myself in the bathroom and did not get out until I was all drained out, 3 hours later.
After the puke-party I went straight to bed and slept for 12 hours. The next day I woke up in Bollnäs and felt great. The gig went great aswell later that evening.
DONT GET SICK ON THE ROAD PPL!!! No fun at all.

Marycan in Örnsköldsvik was sold out that evening, so everything was set for a great gig. We did ¨Run to your mama¨ for the first time and it was amazing. This was one of the coolest moments so far that I have been in Hardcore. The second me and Jocke started to play, the place exploded. From that moment on and to the end of the song I could not hear the guitar or Jockes vocals. The crowd was so damn loud. Amazing feeling. After the gig we moved the party to the bus. The next day I woke up in Östersund. The place was an old theatre and was really cool. We hade a great time.
Hi boys and girls, sorry for not blogging that much the last few week but i’ve been busy and really lazy to be honest, but here comes some stuff that I have been up to.
We had a preproduction before we got on the road to check if all the equipment was ok and stuff like that. We rehearsed for a week and signed loads of pre ordered cd’s and vinyl’s.
We performed Moonshine and Run to your mama on Swedish tv. Jocke did the ballad with Jona from H.E.A.T on the keyboard.
We did 2 garage shows, one in Stockholm and one in Malmö. That was kind of cool, and was a good warm up before the show later that evening.
The show in Helsingborg was crazy, The Tivoli is one my favorite places to play at in Sweden.
During My good reputation the Fire alarm went of and the security had to get all the ppl out of the venue, we hid in Avatars trailer during the break. After 30 min we got to go back in and finish the show.
We were awarded a gold and platinum record for the Moonshine single witch is really cool.
Last weekend we played at Nöjesfabriken in Karlstad, and Jocke had been sick for a whole week, so we knew that he was goin’ to have a hard time singing that evening. It got so bad that during Moonshine he had to go of stage to puke his guts out.

Hardcore Superstar
Back from the Close up boat that took us to Finland and back. Had a great time with some good friends. The headache was out of this world the day after the gig, but it was worth it.
I think we had a record amount of ppl on stage during Lat call for alcohol and I had to stand behind my amp cuz there was no space on stage. Good times.
Eric Young joined us onstage as well.Now I’m goin’ on vacation.
See you guys soon
Met up with the band at Copenhagen airport, to take the next plane to Italy. The trip to the festival was not that bad, though the Italian roads are bumpy=)
It was a free festival and we were expecting loads of ppl, but 6000 crazy Italians was even more than we hoped for. The gig was cool and it was the first time the band played ”cry your eyes out” and ”simple man” in Italy and it was appreciated. See you guys soon!
