Gothenburg’s drunk’n’roll/hardcore-punk wrecking crew Spøgelse are back to remind you what punk is supposed to feel like: loud, raw, and one beer away from total collapse. Their second album, Spøgelse II, lands on October 24 via Welfare Sounds & Records, packing fifteen (!!) tracks that hit like a fist to the jaw for anyone sick of polished, overproduced punk.
Born in the deep Swedish woods but raised on Gothenburg afterparties, Spøgelse have spent the past five years cramming into beat-up cars, dragging gear across highways, and spilling beer on every stage reckless enough to host them. Their mission hasn’t changed: fast riffs, feral live energy, and zero fucking compromises.
Spøgelse II continues their drunk’n’roll manifesto with 1,000 bulldozers of distortion and wild-eyed chaos, dragging you straight off the couch and into the fight. The singles make it clear: “Sober Curious” delivers 83 seconds of beer-soaked therapy for the night crawlers, while focus track “Refuse/Resist” barrels forward like a derailed train with no brakes, 50 Pripps deep and leaving the world spinning sideways.
Self-described “beer and guitar-shrimp specialists” and “your favorite fuck-ups,” Spøgelse are a chaotic Gothenburg punk supergroup turned one of the west coast’s most trusted live acts.
