The punk rock crew from Stockholm,
Sweden known as Our Untold Story have released their new album, “My
Dreams, My Rules.” It contains 10 original OUS tracks for an
approximate total listening time of 35 minutes. “My Dreams, My
Rules” has been proudly published on the XJT Music independent
record label without the involvement of the corporate music industry.
Part classic punk, part classic rock, and absolutely all heart, “My
Dreams, My Rules” is the debut LP record fans of Our Untold Story
have been clamoring for.
Front man Xander Turian of Our Untold
Story has cited as main artistic influences Green Day, Foo Fighters,
the Hives, the Hellacopters, the Doors, the Beatles, and the Rolling
Stones. They have been described by bassist Kim Liljedahl as “an
alternative rock band drawing influences from '70s classic rock and
'90s pop-punk.”
As such, the album oscillates between
the Buzzcocks and the Animals. Their varied songwriting mode is
reminiscent of X, while Turian's lyric style and vocal delivery is
likewise varied on a scale from X's John Doe to an occasional hint of
Lou Reed. If the above names hint to the music fan at deep blues-rock
influences, this will likely appear in Our Untold Story's guitar
work.
Asked to describe the overall themes of
his new LP, Xander Turian writes, “'My Dreams, My Rules' is an
autobiographical story about my journey through life, growing up,
dealing with the joys and hardships life deals everyone, from love to
bullies, from heartbreak to abuse, from drug addiction to family and
friends – travel, education, work, and the breaking free from the
tedium of everyday life.”
But “My Dreams, My Rules” also
tells an uplifting narrative of tenacity and achievement.
“It's also about the journey of
self-discovery,” Turian says, “of creating your own path in life
and following your dreams, setting your own rules, and proving all
the haters and non-believers wrong. It's about proving to yourself
that you can achieve absolutely anything you desire. Ask, and the
universe shall provide.”
Be sure also to see the new Our Untold
Story lyric video, “Strong Ones,” which single appears on “My
Dreams, My Rules” and is free for viewing online now.
Turian says of the new “Strong Ones”
video, “I always like my music to tell a story and that’s what we
have tried to do here. 'Strong Ones' is a song about growing up,
being bullied, being pushed down and being an outsider. Whilst all
the stereotypical ‘popular’ kids are partying around them and
following trends, the outcast is focusing on studying, music or
developing a certain skill. The tables turn years on into adulthood,
and those once called geeks, freaks and nerds are the ones leading
the way. They are the ones following their dreams while trend
followers are left behind. The downtrodden have become the ‘Strong
Ones.’”
Our Untold Story continue to garner

Video for “Calm Seas Don't Make Good Sailors,” and from the Feel
The Reel International Film Festival, the Oniros Film Awards, the
International Music Video Underground, the Monthly Film Festival
(TMFF), and a nomination from the Monkey Bread Tree Film Awards.

Untold Story is available from over 600 quality digital music stores
