As usually from Sweden, melodic rock

Could be ABBA style

From Pride & Joy Music:

SIGNING ANNOUNCEMENT

Pride & Joy Music welcomes Swedish Melodic Rock group Nationwide Sweden to its roster! The debut album by this new exciting band is set for a release in late Summer 2024.

In 2023 longtime friends and songwriters Carl Berglund (ex AGE OF REFLECTIONS) and Peter Ledin decided to put together the band that they dreamed of, a band that would close the gap between classic AOR and modern rock and bring something new to the melodic rock scene.

They teamed up with bass player Mikael Hagström (ex: Age of Reflection) drummer Richard Holmgren (ex: Scaar, Grand Design, Wolf) and keyboard player Mikael Rosengren (Heartwind, Circle of Friends) to form new melodic rock band NATIONWIDE.

The band searched for a completely new voice and are happy to introduce singer Daniel Groth. Daniel was an immediate perfect match, and his voice became the color and nuances that completed the musical artwork that Peter and Carl had begun sketching.

NATIONWIDE is all about the refuge that music means to us all.

That music has no national borders, it is Nationwide

Don't get what new this brings to aor/melodic rock, but I like it.

I love the sample from The Matrix at the beginning

Safe, but a nice song. 

Did they name their band after a random HEAT song?

Nope, after a well known British building society.

[Mr.AOR]

Album out now,

Full album...

 

[lettard]

Its not a bad album,enjoyed this one.

[Geoff]

You could mount an argument that it's pretty safe, but more to the point, and more significantly, is it's bloody good. Lots of good to great songs on here. Plenty of keepers, but my fave is probably 'Fade Away.' 

[Glen]

another v generic sounding release for 2024.
