The OhNos (Sweden)

Meet The OhNos, a Swedish quartet dedicated to delivering morbid power pop and energetic live shows. The Oh Nos consist of Anna Wagner (guitar/vocals), Åsa Meierkord (guitar/vocals), Sanna Rönngård (bass) and Malin Olsen (drums), four musicians with their roots in the Swedish indie scene and bands like Sobsister and Serial Cynic. Since their inception in 2014, the band has toured Scandinavia, Spain, Croatia and Switzerland, treating audiences to their melodic mix of 60s garage, 70s punk rock and 90s indie

Their debut ep Queens Of The Underworld (2015) was followed by the album Sounds From The Basement (Rundgång Rekords 2017). A Scandinavian tour with fellow Spanish punkrockers Las Furias was made in 2019, which resulted in the split cassette
Queens of Noise (Lucinda Records/Cassettine/ Rundgång Rekords 2020).The band has also been sharing stage with other international acts – The Garden, Destruction Unit, Sapphic Musk, Laura Stevenson, Duncan Reid & the Big Heads and Satanic
Surfers

2022 saw the digital release of the band’s long awaited sophomore album Waving from Hades: 11 tracks dealing with life’s absurdities through howls and hand claps, fuzzy riffs and swampy blues. Local musician Malin Hofvander (Mary Anne’s Polar Rig) was recruited as studio engineer, while Joakim Lindberg and Ulf Blomberg did the mixing and mastering respectively. As with their first record, the album cover was designed by artist Bartosz Nalezinski.

The first single “NGBG” was unleashed in March 2022 as an ode to Malmö’s first cultural sound zone. Second single “Kiss the Boot” was accompanied by a video featuring Malmö’s alternative hotspots, like the local karaoke bar. Third single and title track “Waving from Hades” saw the band sailing on the murky waters of Malmö Canal. After the release, the band went on an extensive Spanish tour, financed by the Swedish Council of Arts, and visited a string of summer festivals.

The vinyl version of Waving from Hades finally dropped in January 2023 (Beluga Records), along with a CD (Lucinda Records) and a new single/video for “Final Call”, directed by Malmö local rock star Cecilia Nordlund (from Souls, Monkeystrikes, Sunshine
Rabbits and Marit Bergman). The OhNos embarked on a week-long northeastern tour of Germany in March, playing with the likes of popular band Burnout Ostwest. In September the band embarked on a mini tour of Finland, playing with Swedish rock legends
Mustasch.
