Swedish Oi! Machine Östra Aros Is Far From Retreating – New Single Out Now!

Uppsala street-punk stalwarts Östra Aros are making their presence felt once again. A few years after their successful 2021 album Stormvarning, the Swedish crew has unleashed a brand-new single titled „Kollektiv reträtt“ (Collective Retreat).

Released on April 17, 2026, under the banner of their home label Pretty Shitty Town Records, the track proves they haven’t lost their edge. If you were expecting them to go soft, think again – the band is sticking to their guns, delivering honest, no-nonsense street punk characterized by Swedish lyrics, powerful choruses, and that signature blend of Nordic melancholy and pub-style singalongs.

„Kollektiv reträtt“ is almost certainly a teaser for a new full-length record, which the band has been hinting at on their Facebook page. One thing is certain: the Uppsala scene is alive and kicking, and these „blue-and-black“ patriots still have plenty to say.

The single is already in rotation on YouTube and all major streaming platforms.
