NEW WEBSITE UNVEILED AND NEW ALBUM RELEASE PARTY!
Welcome to the new House of Shakira website.  Most of the basics are present and more features will be added over the course of time.  If there is anything you want to see that's missing fire us an email.

NEW ALBUM RELEASED 27-01-2012
Yes the wait is over.  Our new album featuring new members Andreas Novak, Basse Blyberg and Martin Larsson sees release on 27 January 2012 via Lion Music.  We are delighted with the results and superb press is coming all the time.

INTERVIEWS + PRESS
Look out for interviews in Sweden Rock magazine, Rock It magazine (Germany), Rock Tribune (Benelux), Fireworks (UK) and many more webzines. 

Some excerpts from leading rock/metal webzines:

An album that I am sure will make a few year end best of lists. Fans of the band are in for a treat and if you have never tried this band before, what are you waiting for?

Hopefully it won’t be forgotten when it comes time for websites and magazines to make up their top ten releases of 2012 as it surely will be one of them.

It’s a “gotta own album” if you are just like me; weak for melodic rock with a lot of guitars, marvellous melodies, clean high male vocals and perfect production.

This the sound of a band revitalised and perhaps with a point to prove in 2012. Fans of honest hard rock with a strong dose of melody are well advised to check this out pronto. A contender for melodic rock album of the year already.

HoS is a welcome return to form for House of Shakira. Here's a strong and diverse album of edgier melodic hard rock from a fine band. Recommended.
