Punk Slime Recordings are proud to present the debut album from Stockholm quartet Initiates. Initiates is the new project from Swedish post-punk act Holograms' (Captured Tracks) Andreas Lagerström, taking inspiration from shoegaze and '90s alternative rock with loud distorted guitar textures and dreamy melodies. Joining Lagerström is Oliver Brink on guitars, Joakim Andersson (ex Maim, ex Morbus Chron) on bass and Adam Hansson (Kerosene Kream, Caligulas Mamma) on drums, with Lagerström handling vocals and guitars. For their debut LP the band teamed up with producer Martin "Konie" Ehrencrona (ex Viagra Boys, ex Les Big Byrd) for a 26 minute long collection of nineties infused alt-rock, complete with Lagerström's signature vocals.
