Podcasts about greybeards

Swedish rock band, Greybeards made their triumphant return on February 14th, 2025, with their brand-new EP, ‘Out of the Red'. Rock music in its most memorable form, there's nothing game changing here, but that doesn't mean everyone can't have a mighty fine time with a bunch of tracks that guarantee the body will groove and move. That's the short summation of this EP and what Greybeards offer. It's good time rock music that is inherently infectious with big anthemic choruses. Read our full review of the EP here: https://www.gbhbl.com/ep-review-greybeards-out-of-the-red-rexius-records/ We spoke to vocalist Olle and guitarist Ingemar about the new EP and the journey to its release. We also spoke about the band in general, how they have gotten to this point, their satisfaction and enjoyment in what they are doing, the future, and so much more.
