Sekunderna are a four-piece from Umeå in Sweden, who combine the melodic instincts of Guided by Voices with the ferocity of Radioactivity and Ebba Grön. Their sound? Think glittering power pop riffs delivered with punk rock urgency—all sung in Swedish.

They formed in 2018, originally under the name Persona, to play punk rock inspired by the darkness of Ingmar Bergman films. Sekunderna (translation: The Seconds) refers back to short punk songs, counting down the seconds before you have to pause your dreams to go to work, counting the seconds until you fall asleep. They sing about the everyday issues in a late stage capitalist society.

Sekunderna are:
Lars Sekund - Lead vocals, guitars
Johan Omen - Lead guitars, back up vocals
Tåme - Bass, back up vocals
Johan Fjellström - Drums
