About
Bootblacks formed in 2010. The current lineup of the band consists of Panther Almqvist on vocals, Barrett Hiatt on synth, and Kalle Fagerberg on guitar.
Their sound is characterized by its brooding and atmospheric melodies, driving rhythms, and almqvist’s emotive vocals. The band draws inspiration from the post-punk and darkwave movements of the 1980s, but also incorporates contemporary elements of electronic music into their sound.
Since their formation, Bootblacks have released several critically acclaimed albums, including “veins” (2016), “fragments” (2018), and “thin skies” (2020). The band has also toured extensively throughout north america and europe, performing at renowned venues and festivals.
