//////////BIOGRAPHY//////////
Stockholm formed in the summer of 2009 in Orlando, Florida, among four friends. After months of rehearsal and time to shape their unique blend ambient indie rock, they began playing shows locally in Orlando. Feeling a need to complete their sound, they recruited their fifth and final member, Olie Thomas on second guitar. Once the five-man group was brought together, they began bringing their catchy sound to the local Orlando scene, and were met with critical acclaim.
Within six months of Stockholm's formation, they were selected to showcase at the 2010 Florida Music Festival, an accomplishment for any group, let alone one of such new formation. After the recording of their debut EP Don't Stop Now, Stockholm has recieved local and national praise as being one of the best new bands of the year. The group was named one of the Top 10 Bands to Watch from IndieMusicCafe.com.
Stockholm completed production on their first music video for the single Don't Stop Now. Now, the group is continuing to perform and will be releasing their debut full-length album entitled 'Hush Hush' in 2011.

With influences including The Killers, Coldplay, U2, and Explosions in the Sky, they wasted no time creating sinfully catchy songs for their always growing fan base. Stockholm formed in late 2009 and quickly caught the attention of the local industry; only a short time after the formation of the group, they showcased at the 2010 Florida Music Festival. Stockholm continues to explore their bright future."

"Stockholm has it right. They entertain, they pull you in with infectious sound, they tell you a story with conviction and sincerity, and they get out in melodic and grand fashion. I don’t anticipate a long stay in Orlando for these guys, so get out locally and see them, and definitely grab this cd. "
