Borlänge band Occrasy breaks through with debut album

English

In two years the rock band Occrasy from Borlänge has gone from covers to Sweden Rock. They are now releasing their acclaimed debut album Good to go.

The band played its first concert in 2024 at the music competition Imagine. They started with Mando Diao covers but already then aimed for Sweden Rock in 2026.

Guitarist Dexter Swärd says the development has gone fast but that is the intention. The debut album Good to go is 36 minutes long and reviewer Per Sinding-Larsen gave it four out of five.

A performance at Sweden Rock and a later tour in Germany now await. A release party was held in Borlänge.
