Swedish rockers Degreed are excited to unveil their new single and accompanying visualizer video “Get Up!!”, available today via Frontiers Music Srl.
Vocalist Robin Eriksson comments about the new single: “Sometimes life hits you so hard that you can barely stand up. Blow after blow, and it never seems to end. But you get up. You have to get up. Sometimes it can even be that you need to be slapped in the face to wake up.”
“This song is about all that, and about not giving up. But it also has a more serious undertone of bearing the weight of all the demands of today’s society. Ultimately, this song is about NEVER giving up! Get up and try again!”, he adds.
Degreed have been releasing critically acclaimed music since the start of their career with their first album “Life, Love, Loss” in 2010. Over the course of their career, the band has gone from strength to strength with every release, touring and gaining fans all over the world. Their sound mixes classic melodic and hard rock sounds with more contemporary influences, offering the fans a very personal, fresh and exciting mix of great rock music.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band wasn’t able to tour on the heels of the release of the album “Lost Generation” in 2019. The band released the song “The World We Knew”, their musical summation of the year 2020 (the song became “Track of the Week” at Classic Rock Magazine’s website a week after its release) and then in 2021, Degreed began working on what would ultimately become “Are You Ready”, released in 2022.
The latest Degreed album, “Public Address”, was released on July 7, 2023, and it sees the band delivering on all of the promise of earlier efforts and reaching an absolute premiere moment in their musical creativity.
