Release Notes:

Swedish Punk Rock Group Will Release Seventh Studio
Album In May
Revered Swedish punk rock outfit Millencolin are
back with Machine 15 - their first record in three
years and the follow up to 2005's Kingwood. The
album will be released on May 6th, through Epitaph
Records.

With an impressive string of releases behind them,
nearly two million records sold worldwide and
having shared stages with the likes of Blink 182,
the Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age, the
Orebro based quartet of vocalist/bassist Nikola
Sarcevic, guitarists Erik Ohlsson and Mathias Farm
and drummer Fredrik Larzon show that they are on
top of their game.

While upholding the classic Millencolin sound, they
chose to diversify, evolve and progress on the new
album. The explosive result is pop infused punk at
its all-time best with driving beats, anthemic
choruses and irresistible melodies that prove the
band is back to kick ass and take names.

"I think it's great. It's different from what we've
done before and we're stoked," guitarist Mathias
Färm enthuses. A perfect example of this
willingness to try new approaches is the first
single "Detox" - "Ripe with harmony vocals, an
infectious melody that gives nods to both the
Beatles and the Beach Boys, and seven chord
changes," Erik Ohlsson explains.

For Machine 15, Millencolin re-teamed with producer
Lou Giordano (Sugar, Taking Back Sunday, Plain
White T's), who previously worked with the band on
2003's Home From Home. "We wanted the kind of crisp
sound that Lou is notorious for. Plus we have a
great chemistry with him," guitarist Erik Ohlsson
adds.

Mixed in Berlin by Michael Ilbert, who lent his
skills to records by the likes of The Hives and
Roxette, Machine 15 achieves the perfect blend of
skillful and contagious music. "This time,
especially, it feels like we have something
extraordinary to present," vocalist Nikola Sarcevic
adds.
