The European punk band known as Our
Untold Story have released their newest official single, “Go for
Broke.” The track has dropped concurrently with its B-side, “Calm
Seas Don't Make Good Sailors.” Both have been proudly published on
the XJT Music / Cuprite Productions independent record labels without
the direction or support of the corporate music industry. Vocals
belted out, speakers booming, guitars roaring, and drums played way
down deep in the groove, “Go for Broke” and “Calm Seas
Don't...” are the latest reasons music fans everywhere should be
paying strict attention to this explosive, unstoppable crew from
Sweden.
Based in Stockholm, the heart of Our
Untold Story is composer, singer and guitarist Xander Turian. As the
founding member Turian has kept his group relentlessly active since
2012. He cites as main artistic influences the Doors, Iggy Pop, the
Rolling Stones, Green Day, Foo Fighters, and the Hives. No one
example from above represents the sound of “Go for Broke” or
“Calm Seas Don't Make Good Sailors,” but the melange of all of
them comes very close.
As a result, fans of verve-charged
classic rock and the gritty, pulsing punk sound both will be
enthusiastic to hear this new Our Untold Story release. Longtime fans
of Xander Turian and Our Untold Story will find much in the singles
for them, especially.
Speaking of the themes of these new
tracks, Turian writes, “'Go for Broke' is inspired by old
poker-themed parties we used to have after our shows. We would invite
fans, friends and crew to party backstage or back at my place and
play poker. We partied all night long. During one of these parties,
of course, there was a girl... There is always a girl.”
The title of the B-side, “Calm Seas
Don't Make Good Sailors,” will sound familiar to some.
Writes Turian, “'Calm Seas...' is an
African proverb. It means that experience and wisdom are gained
through rough patches and pitfalls in life. This is a song to remind
us that what does not kill us only makes us stronger, to keep on
pushing the boundaries of our comfort zones, to continually grow and
to appreciate what we have and what we have achieved in life thus
far.”

these tracks are Philip Bengtsson (drums) Johan Weidenhaijn (bass)

Make Good Sailors” were recorded and produced by Dan Östlund and
