Dead Pollys is a four piece punkrock act from Stockholm, Sweden. The band has a passion in old school punkrock, streetpunk, oi and celtic rock with influences from just about anything. With anything, we actually mean – everything!

This is the third line up and the evolution goes from rock, folk and messy, sometimes faster punk to a more old school rock’n’roll-street-folk-punk. Don’t bother to remember that, Dead Pollys will probably evolve again…

Nizze is sprung from The punkrock scene and bands like Sighstens Grannar and Mansic. Juba has a history in psychedelic rock. metal, punk (etc) and celtic punk in bands like Sir Reg. Mats got hooked by Ramones and the magic three chords but have played everything from metal to pop, for example On A Wednesday… and jazz(!).

Nizze started Dead Pollys as a rockband with influences in folkmusic. He met Ola “Skin-O” on a small summer party and asked him to play the drums. Ola was playing percussion with Henrik Franzén (from Grisen Skriker) & Fria Progg at that time. It was a temporary arrangement that became permanent. Hans Müller was added to the line up on guitar and later Stene on bass. The E.P Waiting For Tomorrow was released with the song So Cold. The songs has a video filmed by Pernilla Larding at Skogskyrkogården in Stockholm. It has over 40 000 views on Youtube. Stene stayed for just a short time and was replaced by Juba. As Dead Pollys became more punkrock with both Nizze and Juba in the band, Hans resigned and after some time Ola was replaced by Miche. The album Bullet For The Wicked was released and in 2015 they made a U.S tour with the legendary Down By Law. Miche left the band at the same time arthritis stopped Nizze from hammering the guitar. Mats and Martin joined the band on guitar and drums. September 2018 marks a new era as Dead Pollys played in “Strummerland” (Camden, London) and signed for Too Loud Records.

The new album “Truth of Tomorrow” by DEAD POLLYS will be released digitally and physically via Too Loud Records/Code7 on June 23rd and it will be anticipated by two singles “Yes, Sir” out on April 7th and “So Sick” out on May 19th.

12 fast and straight songs Mixed and Mastered by Riccardo Daga at Titans Lab Recording Studio in Ferrara (Italy) another great album from a great Swedish punk band.

REVIEWS

…Es perfecto para escucharlo en esos días donde estás un poco pinchado. No importa donde estés, el clima que ofrece es bastante veraniego.
Destacamos su mezcla de rock, ska y punk rock, como siempre nos gusta escribir, es un sencillo todoterreno…
ZONE NIGHTS

…Il particolare timbro di Nizze caratterizza l’assalto senza sosta di brani come 94, Yes, Sir e So you wanna be a hero, esempi cardine del sound di questo concept distopico che descrive un mondo in preda all’orrore. Piacevolissima scoperta questi svedesi ed ennesimo lavoro interessante pubblicato da Too Loud…

PROGRESSIVAMENTE
———-
…Es una canción corta, como nos gusta, con tan solo 2:41 minutos de duración, tiempo ideal para nosotros, y la banda sabe aprovecharlos muy bien, en pocos minutos nos ponen a Rockear, en su energía la banda refleja un poco ese dolor por la partida inesperada de sus integrantes…

…’94’ is an elaborate and striking sonic experience, featuring husky, raspy vocals and a dark collage of expression. It’s driven by ballsy riffs and carries a raucous punk energy akin to the intensity of Bad Religion…
CLICK ROLL BOOM

…Det här är deras tredje album och som vanligt när det gäller Dead Pollys handlar det om välspelad, välkomponerad och ösig punkrock full med snygga riff och arr. För den som gillar perfektion är Dead Pollys bandet att kolla upp…
TRAGEDY PUNK BLOG
———-
…Besides melodic punk, I can hear lots of garage punk influence, even 77 style punk rock here and there, maybe it is only me hearing that in their songs. Lyrically the band explores future apocalyptic world where people rather give up than fight and pretty bleak landscapes are described in lyrics but also enabling us to open our eyes and try to fight for our future…
KRAYKULLA
———-
…Colpisce ,oltre alla potenza ed alla velocità che saranno costanti per tutta la durata dell’album, la voce baritonale del cantante (o noise maker come lo chiamano loro) Nizze ,un sorprendente incrocio tra Nick Cave e Till Lindemann dei Rammstein che svetta tra chitarre e batteria dando un’impronta inconfondibile alle canzoni dei Dead Pollys…
IRRITATE PEOPLE
———-
En tout cas, après « Strummer Land », « Bullet For The Wicked » et l’EP « Waiting For Tomorrow », Dead Pollys sort un album qui fleure bon le Punk classique de la vieille école et qui permet de passer un bon moment avec du son du début des eighties made in England ou plutôt Sweden dans les oreilles ! (Fast Freddy)

SOIL CHRONICLES

…Spår som inledande ”Silicon Valley king”, ”Modern social club”, ”Two weeks to live”, ”My name is worry” och ”Gimme good news” är utmärkta exempel på hur riktigt fet punkrock ska låta. Skivan är späckad med låtar som innehar samma jävla urkraft, de flesta skrivna av basisten Juba Nurmenniemi och sångaren Niclas Nizze Nilsson…

TRUTH OF TOMORROW (2023)
…Die Platte ist im übrigen noch melodischer als das Vorgängeralbum, so das neben dem Old-School Sound auch Platz für modernen Punkrock ist.
“Truth Of Tomorrow” ist ein Album was unbedingt mehr Aufmerksamkeit bekommen sollte. Jeder der Songs ist auf seine Weise ein Kracher. Jede Inspirationder Schweden ist heraus zu hören und die Songs haben eine gerade Linie…
STRUMMERLAND (2019)
…Rundum ein sehr gelungenes Album, mit einem wilden aber nicht zu übertriebenen Stilmix. Die Instrumente sind perfekt auf den Gesang eingestellt. Gitarrensolos und eingängige Melodien, hier bekommt ihr feinsten Punkrock der es in sich hat…

Dead Pollys – “My Name is Worry” – (Suécia) – [MINI ENTREVISTA]
– Em resumo, o que é esta música? O que a letra nos diz? My Name is Worry descreve como as pessoas tendem a reagir a coisas ruins que acontecem no mundo. Alguns apenas se preocupam consigo mesmos e não se importam com mais ninguém, outros estão preocupados e com medo de tudo…

…Dead Pollys should be a group on every punk’s lips because they are worth it and have been fighting for a while now because this is their third full-length. It’s really fun to hear the inspiration they seem to have when they play. So why not check out Dead Pollys right away if you haven’t done it before! One of the best records this year!

…Con su característico estilo enérgico y letras poderosas, Dead Pollys nos trae “So Sick”, una canción que reflexiona sobre la sociedad moderna y cómo la ira nos domina por completo, impidiéndonos ver la realidad que nos rodea. Para la banda, nuestro mundo está enfermo y la ira es la verdadera enfermedad que aflige a nuestra sociedad. A través de su música, Dead Pollys busca llamar la atención sobre estos problemas y provocar una reflexión crítica en su audiencia…
PUNKEANDO

…Nizze är ”all over the place” som man brukar säga och ibland även rakt upp i ansiktet på någon i publiken. Det dröjer inte många sekunder förrän Nizze lämnar scenen och under resten av spelningen befinner sig mitt bland publiken. Nizze är intensiv och rör sig konstant fram och tillbaks och runt mellan scenkanten och in bland publiken…

…Hier hören wir coolen, alten 77er-Punk, neu inszeniert, fein im schleppenden Tempo. Ein Song wie „Idiots like you“ gerät da etwas zu bieder, aber ansonsten ist das hier schon klasse. „Strummerland“ als Lied ist schon richtig toll…

…Det har gått några månader sedan Dead Polly släppte sitt andra album: Strummerland. Och vilken jäkla platta uppföljaren till Bullet for the wicked är från Stockholmsbandet som brinner för old school-punkrock, streetpunk, oi! och celtic rock.
Det är  en platta som är fullmatad med sylvassa punkrocklåtar. Det går knappast att jämföra de här två albumen. Soundet är väldigt mycket bättre denna gång och då lyfter allting…4/5

…Il filo conduttore è sicuramente il punk rock old school, di stampo americano. Con forti richiami al celtic rock (molto evidente nel brano apertura Not Alone),al rock’n’roll e all’hard rock. Il loro sound è molto grezzo, viscerale e diretto, non si perdono in fronzoli o ricami armonici. Arrivano dritti al punto con chitarroni molto solidi, colpi di batteria netti e precisi e un cantato profondo e potente…

…Skivan kickar iallafall igång bra med Not Alone sen blir det tyvärr en del trögflytande låtar innan skivans bästa låt The Parade drar igång, den bjuder dessutom in till allsång. Det är de mer ösiga låtarna som sticker ut, jag önskar bara att de kunde vara i majoritet för där är Dead Pollys riktigt bra…

…På Strummerland har Dead Pollys fått till en fetare produktion som gör de nya låtarna full rättvisa, och melodiskt har man återigen skapat några riktiga punkpärlor…

…there are only good songs on this 11-track album and you just want to listen to it over and over again and therefore I put it back on because this type of music is really music like I love…

…Dead Pollys concludes this satisfying album with the title track, Strummerland, and at four and a half minutes the band pay tribute to the early punk bands and, especially the legend that is Joe Strummer who created the spark for the band to form. The band produce a super song full of hooks and melody to wrap up a strong, honest and ultimately listenable punk rock album…

…And that, right there, is the sense of belonging, the sense of community, the camaraderie that being part of something musical can give you. That’s why we were in the record clubs, and that’s why Dead Pollys make albums like “Strummerland”. They want to. It’s in their blood…

…Their blending of catchy hooks and sing along choruses means it’s almost impossible not to listen to them without bursting out into a big grin. Strummerland wins on so many counts.  It’s full of easily likeable uncomplicated music. It’s diverse enough to make sure you don’t get bored…
