No matter if you like the very early hardrock from the end of the 60s, the more intricate from the 70s, the polished from the 80s or modern rock bands, The Rockford Heroes will have something to offer your. This is the essence of rock history, concentrated in one single band.<\/p>\n<p>The band was founded during autumn 2010 by Jonas Arvidsson (guitar) and Dan Hultstrand (s\u00e5ng). Jonas, previous guitarist in VII Gates, wanted to do something more complete, and found that the so far unknown super talent Dan wanted the same thing. After a few demo recordings to show the music, drummer Marcus Johansson and bass player Pekka Kiviaho were recruited as well, thus formed a complete line-up.<\/p>\n<p>During Spring 2011, the band did some intense rehearsal and recording sessions. The first EP \u201cLight scares\u201d was released in July 2011 and consists of newly recorded versions of the first demo songs. Another EP as well as two singles are planned for the spring 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s start with the basics first, when did the first band get together and how would you describe the music of The Rockford Heroes?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The later part of the question would have been much easier to answer in Swedish, where we have the term \u201ch\u00e5rdrock\u201d, which probably could include everything from the heavier side of The Beatles (like \u201cHelter Skelter\u201d) \u00a0to the most extreme Norwegian black metal. \u00a0But as far as I know, there is no real translation for that.<\/p>\n<p>But I guess you can call everything we do some kind of rock music, usually on the hard and\/or heavy side. \u00a0Everything from AOR to heavy metal, including the different meanings those terms have had over the decades.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s ok to do some name-dropping, I guess I will mention a couple of our common favourite artists which might help; Rainbow, Queen, Styx, Whitesnake, Talisman, Deep Purple, Rush, Bon Jovi, Kansas, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Queensr\u00ffche and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Dan and me have known each other for about 2.5 years. \u00a0Got together through some Internet service for music ads, and found out that we had a lot in common. First played with some other guys for a little bit for less than a year, but it wasn\u2019t until we found Marcus in December 2010 things really started to feel right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the inspiration behind your band name?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Jim Rockford from \u201cThe Rockford Files\u201d of course! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you introduce each member of the band and give us a rock \u2018n\u2019 roll fact or myth about each?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Marcus is the drummer, and that kind of drummer who just like Keith Moon would have preferred to have his drum kit at the front of the stage. \u00a0Very energetic and honest guy who learns songs faster than any drummer I ever played with. \u00a0At his second audition for the band, he had one hell of a hangover and spent the time between the songs lying in a foetal position on the floor or talking to the toilet. \u00a0But his playing between his visits to the floor and the toilet was just as excellent as ever.<\/p>\n<p>Dan is a singer who could hit virtually any note out there and hold it more or less forever. \u00a0That\u2019s definitely a freedom when you are writing songs, never having to worry about the key or the range of the melody. \u00a0There have been rumours that he didn\u2019t study on MI, but rather had an operation performed where they added a bio mechanical nano-based pitcher to his throat.<\/p>\n<p>Pekka plays bass and as are most bass players, he\u2019s very good at making coffee. We actually don\u2019t know much about him, but the fact that he is from Finland and still talks a lot is a mystery enough. \u00a0This might be a unique combination, never heard of anything like it before.<\/p>\n<p>Jonas, me, play the guitar (and some keyboards as well), addicted to dark chocolate, audio books and Italian cars. \u00a0Always walking on the edge between being very active and go-ahead with a lot of ideas and being considered as a dictator. \u00a0Hopefully usually the first thing is a lot more common. \u00a0Finding a rock\u2019n\u2019roll fact about me might be somewhat hard, since I don\u2019t have any tattoos, never tried cigarettes nor snuff, not even coffee, and don\u2019t like beer and wine. Have nothing against alcohol though. \u00a0But I prefer when it not tastes like it, like with good cocktails.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The respective musical backgrounds of the band members that make up The Rockford Heroes are rather different, have you found this diversity to be a positive thing in developing the intended sound and style of the band?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Most certainly! As it is now, you guys have not heard that many of our songs, since we only recorded five of them so far. \u00a0But I, who have a little bit more insight, have noticed that our playing styles together makes a somewhat unique sound. \u00a0Which means that we can play any kind of song, and it would sound like us. \u00a0More or less at least.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/280131_242553319097083_219247191427696_1016330_7156847_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4745\" title=\"The Rockford Heroes\" src=\"http:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/280131_242553319097083_219247191427696_1016330_7156847_o-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/280131_242553319097083_219247191427696_1016330_7156847_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/280131_242553319097083_219247191427696_1016330_7156847_o.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>What or who inspires and influences your music the most, in both a lyrical and musical sense?<br \/>\n<\/strong>It could be anything, from the shape of a rock to the sound from the escalator on the subway station. \u00a0But usually from other music of course. \u00a0Not necessarily from rock music though. \u00a0Lyrically it can be anything that interests me, books, movies, and newspapers. \u00a0Or sometimes I just find a good title somehow, and build the lyrics around that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In terms of your song writing, what do you consider to be the most important ingredients that need to feature in one of your songs?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The two most important are probably some kind of hook and unpredictability. But it\u2019s a balancing act, neither of those two have to be to obvious, it have to sound as a natural part of the song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The sound of The Rockford Heroes does indeed have it\u2019s own uniqueness, in delivering the style of rock that you do, what did you think you could bring to the music scene that you thought might have been missing?<br \/>\n<\/strong>To be honest I don\u2019t think we really thought about it that way. I mean, there are so many great bands out there. \u00a0We just play what we like, and probably would have liked to listen to even if we didn\u2019t compose and perform the music our self.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is the process of song writing something the whole band is involved in, or are there a few key contributors?<br \/>\n<\/strong>So far, it\u2019s been Dan and me who have written all of the songs. \u00a0Everyone agrees that this is the most efficient way to do things. \u00a0You don\u2019t have to spend that much time in the rehearsal room when you always have more or less complete songs to rehearse on. \u00a0But it\u2019s also important to point out that it\u2019s very common that we find things when we start to rehearse on the songs, which we change later on. \u00a0And of course Marcus and Pekka add their own personal touch to everything.<\/p>\n<p>So far we have had very good communication within the band and a very prestigeless way of talking how to play\/record\/compose the songs. \u00a0Let\u2019s hope this honeymoon goes on as long as possible!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have released your first EP \u201cLight Scares\u201d in July 2011, can we expect another EP release or even an album at some stage in 2012?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Since we started to record new songs this weekend, we should really hope so! \ud83d\ude42 I mean, the second album with my previous band VII Gates took about 3 years to record, so you can never know for sure. \u00a0But our intention is to release 3 EP:s each year. Or whatever you call it those days\u2026a bunch of songs. \u00a0No plans for an album, doesn\u2019t really apply to our way of doing things. But if someone gives us a lot of money to do one, we probably wont say no.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you were a person in the crowd at one of your gigs, what five words would you walk away using to describe the performance you just witnessed?<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cIn 20 years, I can brag about being one of maybe 20 people who attended The Rockford Heroes first concert ever\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>As you might have guessed, we have only made one gig so far. Which leads us into the next question&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0You hail from Stockholm, Sweden, how would you describe the live rock scene there at the moment&#8230;is there a thriving bunch of bands playing similar styled hard rock to yourselves, or is it mostly dominated by sleaze rock, AOR\/melodic rock or the heavier end of metal?<br \/>\n<\/strong>There are some really good bands who have had great success, like HEAT, Crash Diet, Houston and Dynazty. \u00a0For the heavier bands, I don\u2019t really know. \u00a0I guess we are somewhere in between all those bands, some elements of glam\/sleaze and AOR, but not too much so we would probably still appeal to the heavy metal fans. \u00a0But the live scene in Stockholm isn\u2019t that good. There aren\u2019t many places where bands can perform, especially not if you want to play your own songs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With 2012 only being a few days old, here&#8217;s a chance to gaze into your crystal ball. By the end of 2012, The Rockford Heroes will have:<br \/>\n<\/strong>1. Released about 300% as many EP:s as in 2011<br \/>\n2. Have about 500% as many likes on our Facebook page as in 2011<br \/>\n3.
