Band With Mingled Feelings

Thats how Göteborgs Posten (GP) titled about Swedish pop band BOA. BOA were one of the 16 finalists of GP scen who played on Gothenburg’s Järntorget  last Saturday.

A few days before they got great feature in GP’s entertainment section. Their music was described there as “lighthearted melodies accompanying with dark lyrics”.

Orsi and Olof represented the band when they met with the GP people. Attila and Botond were in Transsylvania at this time. Drummer William jobbed in Eskilstuna over the summer. But they all went back to Gothenburg to play their song “Push” at the GP Scen final. “It’s going to be smashing. Spontaneous and magnificent”, Orsi stated in the GP interview.

“Push” has also got airplay on Mix Megapol, not their radio debut, as GP noticed. TalentCast was the first radio station to play there song.  “Probably it gave us not so much attention. But it was cool to listen to our sound coming out of the radio”, said Orsi.

Sadly they did not win the competition, but the media attention they got, will surely give them a big Push.
