CREYE was put together by guitarist Andreas Gullstrand in
early 2015. After playing in different bands over the years, including Grand
Slam, Andreas felt that it was about time to turn it up a notch. His vision was
to start a new Swedish pop/rock sensation that would take listeners on a
journey back to the glory days of the eighties, both musically and visually.
After spending nearly two months experimenting with the sound of the band,
Andreas settled on what could best be described as a slick melodic rock sound
with a touch of 80's retro in the mix.
CREYE debuted in late 2016 with the single "Never
Too Late", which caused a stir in the international AOR scene with
outstanding reviews and immediate talk of Creye potentially being the “next big thing” to come out of Sweden. In March 2017, the
three song EP, "Straight To The Top" was released, showcasing a more
mature and evolved sound. Andreas continued working more and more on the
songwriting and crafting of new, more ambitious melodic rockers with thoughts
of what would become the band's self-titled debut in mind.
“Both the sound and the
writing has matured quite a lot over this past year, and of course we’ve also discovered some new sides to our
music as well that might not be present listening to the EP,” says Andreas. "I’m extremely proud of every song on the
whole album. If you are a fan of the EP then you will definitely enjoy this
since it is by far the best we’ve
ever sounded."
While CREYE’s
music is clearly influenced by the sound of the 80’s, Andreas is no stranger to more modern
production techniques. "I’m
personally a 90’s kid, so I guess the 80’s was still pretty relevant in mainstream
media and pop culture when I was growing up,” continues
Andreas. "But something has always been very appealing to me about the 80’s for as long as I can remember and that is
subconsciously expressed through the music I guess. But to sum it up, we’re more just re-introducing the components
of a 80’s song to a 2018
production with our own touch to it rather than trying to actually write a 80’s song, plus we have been working hard to
write songs that we truly liked, before everything else."
If you are into bands such as Work of Art, Art Nation,
One Desire, and early H.E.A.T, then this band is for you! CREYE are more than
ready to live up to the initial hype generated by their first single and EP!
CREYE made their live debut at Melodicrock fest in Malmo,
Sweden and are set to appear at the Frontiers Rock Sweden in Stockholm, Sweden
and at the Rockingham Festival in October in Nottingham, UK.
