THE GEMS, the new Swedish rock band featuring former THUNDERMOTHER members Guernica Mancini (vocals), Emlee Johansson (drums) and Mona Lindgren (bass), has signed a worldwide deal with Napalm Records. THE GEMS‘ debut single, “Like A Phoenix”, will arrive “very soon,” according to a press release.
THE GEMS are currently working hard on finishing their debut album, but will also make time to play their second show ever at the Downtown Riot festival in their hometown of Stockholm this Saturday, May 6.
THE GEMS commented on the signing: “We are so happy and excited to be a part of the Napalm Records family. We feel very confident that Napalm is the perfect label for us to spread our music, and that we will make a great team together and conquer the world!”
Napalm Records CEO Thomas Caser added: “With THE GEMS the name says it all! The musicians are already well-known to every rock fan and we are convinced that we have discovered a new star in the rock scene. We are already looking forward to the first anthems from the Swedes!”
THE GEMS made their live debut on March 22 at Pustervik in Gothenburg, Sweden as the support act for THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA. THE GEMS see Lindgren returning to her original instrument, the guitar. Playing bass at the Gothenburg show was THE GEMS‘ friend and collaborator Johan Randén.
