RELEASE PARTY REPORT #2
On the 26th of January 2012, House of Shakira threw a
release party to celebrate their new album "HoS". The
album has received stunning reviews and the band proved
why, as hundreds of old and new fans showed up and
supported them at Pub Anchor in Stockholm, Sweden.
We performed the majority of
the album live, and the CD was sold at very special
price. Also previous members showed up and shared the
evening, such as Andreas Eklund, Per Schelander Tony
Andersson, Bernt Ek and Michael "Zifa" Ericson. The band
enjoyed signing the CD, talking to the guests and
actually had a beer or two…
Andreas Novak comments, “It was a pleasure to meet
and greet new and old fans, especially to talk to some
of the guys that was in the band way before me. Trying
out the new tracks live, in front of an enthusiastic
crowd was a real kick, thanks everybody that showed up!”.
Mats Hallstensson added, “We were a bit nervous of
how people would react on the “new HoS” but everything
went fine and it was a great evening. It was very fun
playing with the newcomers, I really enjoyed myself."

INTERVIEWS + PRESS
Look out for

(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.
