Famous for their charismatic and explosive live performances with powerhouse front woman Elin Larsson in the lead, the Swedish-American rock quartet BLUES PILLS had a fast journey to international success. Formed in 2011 in Iowa by Elin Larsson and guitarist Zack Anderson, their modern vintage rock sound have created a universe of their own. Elin’s soulful voice, often compared to legens like Janis Joplin, Adele and Amy Winehouse, ads its magic spell to the signature sound of BLUES PILLS, combining gritty guitars, heavy swag and deep rooted blues in a psychedelic trip that flows into a bold sound that moves hearts in all directions.
Their musical success have led them to bring their live shows all over Europe, Australia and Latin America, and they dominated the stages on some of Europe's biggest festivals, like Rock Am Ring, Hellfest Open Air, Wacken Open Air, Southside, Hurricane, Southside, Download and Roskilde and toured together with bands like Deep Purple, Europe, Airbourne and Rival Sons alongside playing and selling out their own headlining shows.
Their self-titled debut album went straight into the European charts, hitting #4 in Germany and entering the Billboard Heatseekers chart, while their second album, Lady in Gold, reached #1, cementing the band’s place among modern rock’s most exciting acts. Their third album, Holy Moly!, was self-produced by the band and mixed by Grammy Winnings Andrew Scheps, known for his work with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Sabbath, Adele, and Hozier, further expanding the band’s musical journey.
In 2024 they released their fourth studio album, Birthday, produced by Grammy-nominated Freddy Alexander (The Chainsmokers, The Veronicas), delivers an irrepressible energy and live feel, reflecting the band’s confidence in evolving their sound while staying true to their explosive formula. Tracks like “Don’t You Love It” climbed to #2 on the official German Rock Radio, “Top of the Sky” was performed on national Swedish television, and “Bad Choices” earned a spot on Rolling Stone Magazines's “Songs You Need To Know” list.
