THE HEADLINES und EXAT

In the organizer's words:

Give this Swedish "all or nothing" punk quintet a stage and that stage will explode into a boiling rock 'n' roll extravaganza party that The Headlines master with merciless potency like there's no tomorrow. Their hook-dense, melodic songs remind you of your first love of rock 'n' roll or your first punk festival, accompanied by a fast beat and cheap wine in the sun.

The album "Homewrecker", released in 2024, is bursting with life and its anthems challenge the heart and brain in equal measure. The term "homewrecker" is often used to describe a person who - in most cases knowingly - gets involved in a relationship or affair with a married partner. But what is the true meaning behind this word and the excessive force it takes to wreck something, be it a household or an entire life and all its souls? Drugs, gambling, decadence, aggression, money, promiscuous sex. The destructive forces have fascinated all the band members of The Headlines in one way or another, and all twelve songs attempt to dissect the subject to some degree.

What happens before, during and after the homewrecker takes control of your life? The will to find out led to their most ambitious work to date. The current line-up, with the authentic and open-minded Kerry Bomb at the center, marks a new step for this punk quintet towards alternative, but still with the same punky nerve and embracing lyrics. A vital and ambitious sound of hard rocking anthems that challenge the ears. It has alternative rock vibes, hard rock solos, punky growls and top notch hooks. Scandinavian rock has always tested the boundaries of "how far can it go?". This album is no exception, with lyrics that lead deep into the abyss, but also with light-hearted party anthems.

Hailing from the multicultural melting pot of Malmö, The Headlines deliver heartfelt honesty and heart-on-the-tongue lyrics to fans of Rancid, The Clash, Bad Religion and The Baboon Show. With more than 600 shows in Europe, North America and Asia, The Headlines show who owns the stage every time. They have toured and performed with Dropkick Murphys, Millencolin, Danko Jones and The Broilers.
