Get ready to embark on a journey through time as up and coming 80s rock purveyors NESTOR, hailing from the vibrant music scene of Sweden, release their electrifying, long-awaited new album, Teenage Rebel, via Napalm Records on May 31, 2024. Having formed in 1989 only to fall into a slumbering hibernation over three long decades, NESTOR emerged stronger than ever in 2021 with their debut album, Kids in a ghost town, marking the band's triumphant return to the spotlight and captivating fans with their timeless sound and unmatched energy. With glossy production and nostalgic authenticity, they take you straight back to the golden age of rock music, openly displaying their influences ranging from Bon Jovi and Aerosmith to Journey and Foreigner. With over 30 years of existence, NESTOR turn back time while being one of the hottest newcomers of modern rock music, with millions of streams on Spotify and hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube to boot. The band has even shared stages with the almighty Alice Cooper, greats like Def Leppard or Europe and were even supporting the legendary KISS in Stockholm on their 2022 stadium tour. Now, brace yourself for an even more exhilarating experience with their newest onslaught, Teenage Rebel.

The album sets off with a captivating intro-monologue spoken by Danish voice actress Freya Miller, creating a retro, rebellious atmosphere that sets the mood for the album and prepares the stage for the opening track “We come alive” - a true blast of an opener. Rhythmic guitars create an exciting backdrop for the gripping vocals of frontman Tobias Gustavsson, leading towards an incredible guitar solo by guitar hero Jonny Wemmenstedt. The album's title track, “Teenage Rebel”, convinces with tight riffing and an anthemlike chorus honoring the tradition of 80s Hard Rock. “Victorious” is an anthemic masterpiece combining powerful vocals with dynamic instrumentals, promising to creep in the listener’s head and reign as a fan favorite at their energetic live shows, while “21” is a wild ride celebrating the ease of youth. NESTOR also prove their ability to shift from big stadium anthems to their emotional side on tracks like “Caroline”, convincing with catchy melody and passionate vocals, while guitar magician Jonny Wemmenstedt demonstrates his insane skills once again as he tops the song with another stunning solo. Touching ballads like “Last To Know”, “Daughter” and “The One That Got Away” present an even more vulnerable facet, reaching straight for the listener’s heart with yearning lyrics, while tracks like “Addicted To Your Love” and “Unchain My Heart” celebrate love, youth and the joy of being naïve.

Teenage Rebel is a rebellious and energetic onslaught that convinces with enormous hit density while invoking the spirit of youth. Get ready to crank up the volume!
