Biography

The Swedish reggae-pop band Otheas are back in in action with new material, new energy and a new addition on the stage. With a growing fanbase and big visions they’re now ready to enter the bigger stages. It all started at 2011 with two friends in a basement on the Swedish countryside. Oskar Käll and Theo Hofbauer started creating music together. The response became overwhelming and ended up in requests from festivals asking for live shows. The two founders decided there and then to create a band. Today has the band got 5 solid members. Oskar Käll, Theo Hofbauer, Richard Hames, Mikael Buller and Ludwig Pettersson. Together they’ve won the national radio contest (P3 osignat) for unsigned musicians three times in a row, toured around Scandinavia and Germany and on the road gathered a big and dedicated audience. Their music could be described as an evolved version of reggae and ska, which results in the rare genre called Reggae-pop. Because of the energy-filled music, the high tempo and the poppy melodies. It is the Otheas live concerts that makes them unique. The sweat is pouring, the throats are sore from screaming and the relation between artist and audience couldn’t be more touchable. Otheas has during the years been touring around and opening shows for artists like Kapten Röd, Timbuktu, Norlie KKV, Magnus Uggla, and more. The band will be releasing a new album this summer. The material has the same bombastic sound, high-tempo energy and sensitive lyrics as always.
