PEG Interviews Sweden's Indie Rock Band XOPlasma

PEG Interviews XOPlasma BIO: XOPlasma founding foursome Johan Bejerholm (lead vocals / keyboards / guitar), Johan Fleetwood (lead guitar / vocals), Lars Kalthoff (drums) and Roland Svensson (bass guitar) joined forces in 2018, some 30 years after having dissolved the promising 80’s band ’Plasma’, who reached the finals of the 1982 nationwide televised Swedish battle of the bands - ’Rock-SM’. The competition was won by now world-renowned band Europe, with ’Plasma’ finishing as runner-up #3.
 XOPlasma songs are inspired by what made the 80’s great. Lyrics with a twist, melodies with a punch and coolness in a modern Indie sound. The first album ’New Bold Dream’ was released in June 2019. 
 Some comments within the first few hours of the album’s release: ’Awesome! Better than most stuff released today!’ ’Fantastic! Looking forward to seeing this band live!’ ’Wonderful music! Rock’n’Roll! Super thumbs up!’ ’Brings me back to the greatness of the 80’s again!’ 
 Our new single 'Stuck' (released in May 2020) is a song with strong melodies and lyrics, energy and passion. Indie rock at its best!
 All songs are composed and authored by XOPlasma, and mixed/mastered by Johan Bejerholm at World Studios, Sweden. We are inspired by many of the bands from the 80s like Simple Minds, Japan and Ultravox but also new bands as Muse and Coldplay. We are currently working on a full album, which will be released in this forthcoming summer “Letters from the future”. The first song from this album is “Time of our lives”. After that “Out of Miles” and “Stuck” was released in April and May 2020. Our singer and producer is a professional producer, mixer and composer who has been behind a few songs in the Eurovision song contest and his work has been sold and streamed billions of time. ”Bonbon” with Era Istrefi has been played more than 100 million times on Spotify and 700 million times on Youtube as one example.
