Giuda (Rome, Italy)

For a band that start back in 2004 as a bunch of young kids, they are sometimes difficulties to keep your motivation up and running for over 10 years. Something that Walking With Strangers came to notice. 2013, the band announced a break indefinitely, a break which, however, only lasted one year. Now in 2015, the band is finally back with full force. After much pressure from the fans it was decided in spring 2014 to begin writing a new album, this and the lack of standing on stage together was simply too big to call it quits. Once they started writing again they had a whole new approach to putting together the songs. They would rather take their time than to settle with the first best that was recorded. “It is very hard to be relevant in this genre, when we started playing, there were very few new bands that played music as us in Scandinavia. Now thereis an ocean of bands and they do it well too. So we simply had to make it even better without removing the core of what makes us sound like us. “/ Christoffer Lennartsson Terra is yet another indication that the critics were not wrong when they predicted that Walking With Strangers will be a band to keep an eye on already at the release of her debut ‘Hardships’. Their mix between Gothenburg metal they grew up with in the 90’s, and the latter contemporary American scene that developed during the 2000s.Walking With Strangers have a new approach to a genre that may otherwise seem very repetitive today. With the new re-started now more legendary Burning Heart Records behind and with the backing of Avocado Booking on the booking front so the future looks very bright for this struggling Trollhättan band.

“From Roma, neo-bovver rockers get stomping. Recalling the stack-heeled sounds of Slade, The Sweet and The Faces plus the “junk shop glam”, Romans Giuda do their bit for similarly no pretention, high energy rocking with their debut, Racey Roller.” Mojo

“They’ve ram-raided the vaults of 70′s glam, punk and rock ‘n’ roll to make a foot-stomping, fist pumping riot of sound that has the scenesters, the punks and rockers and young and old in attendance going nuts! Giuda are the best band we’ve seen in years!” Vive Le Rock

“Italian quintet Giuda are the greatest ‘70s glam-rock band to have existed since… the 1970s.” NME 8/10

“Guida perfectly channel a stomping pre-punk past complete with hand claps, terrace-boy chants and pop chops to match…” Vice 10/10

“This is the perfect sound for life on the terraces, in the discos, at a gig, at the pub and in the streets, always with Giuda blasting in your ears” Rolling Stone
