\n“The band have shown an ability to produce something special in \u2018She was born in Bahia\u2019, and with some exciting reviews about their on-stage performances we\u2019re looking forward to hearing more!”
\nLondon on the Inside<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nIndie rock band from Gothenburg, Sweden, The Shy Lips\u00a0are back with another slice of infectious and energetic rock n’ roll in the form of their new single ‘Bahia Part II’.<\/p>\n
Their 2014 single, ‘She Was Born in Bahia’ was described by Jungle Indie Rock as,\u00a0“funny, fresh, very easy listening and that kind of summer song that makes you happy”. It’s a perfect description of the songs these guys write – immediately engaging yet edgy, they channel influences from some of the greatest rock’n’rollers of the 20th century – yet retain their own unmistakeable sound. They’re a joy to see live – passionate about their music, the band are always stylish, yet raw and energetic.<\/p>\n
The Shy Lips were formed in early 2012 as the brainchild of\u00a0singer \u00a0Adam Benrahmoun Johansson and bassist Victor Pettersson during travels in Europe and South America. The Shy Lips became a reality when the pair recruited Alexander Lisinski and Anton Ekedahl in the vibrant music city of Gothenburg. After just six months as a band, The Shy Lips had their first EP out on the streets and were receiving attention and praise from the blogosphere. Their second EP ‘Nowadays; has been aired on national radio as well as on web stations over Europe and other parts of the world. They were playing the biggest clubs in Gothenburg.<\/p>\n
Bahia Part II has shades of the 60s crossed with garage rock and the blues. Adam Johansson’s vocals take the over from the energetic guitar and beats leading us into a happy reverie and an earwormingly-infectious chorus. It’s a song that will remain in your brain and that’s not a bad thing. We think The Shy Lips have got it – and tend to agree with Adam when he says,<\/p>\n
\n“it\u2019s all about keeping it simple, so simple it gets hard to understand what the thing is. You just know The Shy Lips got it\u2026”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
