The Confusions

The Confusions is an indie pop band from Sundsvall, Sweden. The band was formed in the early 1990s. Their breakthrough album, Everyone's Invited, along with their following album Six-0-Seven, were produced by Peter Svensson of The Cardigans. In 1997, The Confusions and Massproduktion signed with Stockholm Records, but were quickly released after Stockholm Records was bought by Universal 10. The Confusions was formed in 1991 by a gang of childhood friends in the suburb of Skönsberg in Sundsvall, an industrial town in the north known for its punk, post punk, and metal scene. Five years later, their second album Everyone’s Invited, smashed all the doors open to numerous releases and tours all over the world. It was crowned with the title of “one of this year’s five top album” by Record Collector. Some years later a gig at SXSW would open the door for some touring of US and finally also a Nordic MTV no 1 for the video to The Pilot. The band survived the ups and downs of an indie band, still touring, developing and releasing records, building a bond between the members. After a challenging period, the band built a studio in their rehearsal room and 2008 recorded the more than one hour long self-produced album “The Story Behind the Story” that by many was regarded as their finest work and also found a working method by recording and producing in their own studio. In early 2020 the band played two hours show in hometown Sundsvall with tracks from all their 30 years and felt it was time to gather some of the latest releases and combine with the new stuff, the double vinyl album "Black Silhouettes." The band won the SMA Award for Best Album for 5am at the Fourth Sundsvall Music Awards.
