"While the universe's expanding you will always keep me standing, and I never would have grown this steady on my own".

Full song here:

In May, we recorded a quarantine version of our song "Roots". A tribute to the chosen family, the ones that keep you standing when times are tough, no matter if you are related by blood or wine or a million cups of coffee in the rehearsal space.

We've written 10 new songs - for the first time we've written all four of us together - the arrangements are all done, and now we're waiting for 2021 to bring us possibilities to lock ourselves in a studio and record our baby!

Let's end this year in style with a new song - and cheers for a new year!

”Looking back, I think we knew right from the moment that we met that this was good”

Y’all ready for a count-down?! We feel a need to end this year in a positive way, and what is better than doing that with a new song?! Four days, each day with a quote from what will reach your ears on the last day of 2020! Can’t wait to share this with you!

🌟🎄 Merry christmas all y'all 🎄🌟
Here's our Christmas version of The Beard Song, from all of us - to all of you out there!

We miss playing together but find joy and comfort from all of our years as a band, and especially this tounge-in-cheek version makes us feel a bit better in these times.

Hope you all stay safe <3 //The Bandettes

🔥 Today is the day! 🔥

Our new single "Try a little bit harder" is finally out, big thanks to HYMN for releasing it with us on this very special day - international women's day - as a reminder that we've still got work to do before we reach an equal society.

This song is dedicated to everyone that has to try a little bit harder to be seen as an equal. Raging, but hopeful - the fire in the song is fueled by the anger of feeling diminished, and it will keep on burning together with all of you that are working towards a better future

Feel like you want to speed things up, make things happen? Join/follow/support one of the organizations we've highlighted this week: Rättviseförmedlingen, Transformering.se, Popkollo, Musiker Mot Rasism, Förbundet Unga Rörelsehindrade, or find your own way!

"There will be new conditions, it's no longer a question of when.
This one is not your decision, the times are a-changing again!"

We hope you like it as much as we do! <3

"Try a little bit harder"
Today is the 5th and final day of our countdown for our single "Try a little bit harder" and here's a shoutout to Förbundet Unga Rörelsehindrade. They make an incredible work in improving the rights for kids and adolescents with disabilities! Their members actually work for their own rights. Check out their homepage as well: http://ungarorelsehindrade.se/

So, tomorrow is a big day (in several respects!). Keep eyes and ears open!

Dear fans and friends!

Have you ever felt diminished? Like someone is making you feel smaller, or less competent? Have you ever felt you needed to try just a little bit harder than everyone else, to be seen as an equal?

We are planning something special for our upcoming single "Try a little bit harder", and we want to hear YOUR stories! If you feel like sharing with us, please send an email to info@thebandettes.com, and we´ll take it from there.
