Band members: Alejandro Pacheco (vocals & guitar), Grego Rojas (guitar), Andres Moraga (bass), Jose Vargas (drums). Their EP "Get OFF the Rails!" (tentative title) will be out in 20/01/09. Passenger or PSNGR is an active hardcore/screamo band formed in San José, Costa Rica born in 2004. This did however not happen as Anders continued touring with In Flames until October 2010 when they entered their studio to record their next album. In an interview with Fridén he stated that as soon as he gets a break from In Flames, he wants to get all the group together to record a second album for early 2010. However, since then, Fridén, lead vocalist of both Passenger and In Flames has been noted saying that he has very little time for the project, due to other commitments, and the group is currently on hold. Sten noted in February 2004 on their official website that they were in the process of recording their second album. A video for "In Reverse" was also released. After a third demo the band finally recorded and released their debut album entitled Passenger. In 2001 the band recorded another demo in which early versions of the songs "Used", "In My Head", "Circus" and "Drowning City" were recorded. In the year 2000 the band came back from its break and went on to record a demo. After a break in the band and after Engelin was hired as a session guitarist for In Flames' Whoracle tour, Anders Fridén, the vocalist of In Flames showed interest in Passenger and joined the band. Under the name Cliff they recorded two demos in Studio Fredman that were never released. At its early stages the band was originally called "Cliff".
Both members wanted to do something that was not Thrash metal or Melodic death metal unlike the bands they played in. Passenger was formed in 1995 by Sten and Engelin. This is the stuff of legend, with Passenger clearly evoking the humble, hardworking creativity of the troubadours of old. How utterly remarkable that a lone musician can travel the globe, and literally from the street, connect with some of Australia’s finest musical talents to produce a self-funded album. Flight Of The Crow was recorded in Sydney’s famous BJB studios over February and March of 2010, and co-produced by Berkfinger (AKA Simon Berkleman from Philadelphia Grand Jury).Īs a second album born of the road, Flight Of The Crow speaks to the compelling quality of Passenger’s music and the striking sincerity of his lyrics, both of which are matched by his dedication to this grass roots style of craftsmanship and collaboration. Flight Of The Crow is the remarkable result of Passenger’s intrepid journey, with Australian artists Lior, Josh Pyke, Katie Noonan, Boy & Bear, Kate Miller Heidke, Philadelphia Grand Jury, Brian Campeau and Elana Stone, Matt Corby, Jess Chalker and Dead Letter Chorus all lending their voices to this serendipitous creative venture.
PASSENGER BAND SONGS SERIES
Impressively and entirely self funded through busking income, Passenger set about recording a series of collaborations with musical friends met along the way. Struck by the dynamic freedom of the troubadour life, Passenger developed the grass roots method of Wide Eyes Blind Love into the germ of a new album. This is music as Passenger means it to be, unvarnished and honest, just pure talent and powerful tunes that tap straight into the heart of the crowd. Setting up on street corners across the UK and Australia, Passenger halted passers by in their hundreds all connecting to the mellifluous tones and powerfully hewn lyrics emanating from this lone figure and his guitar. A classic journeyman musician, cut from the same mould as Van Morrison, Neil Young and John Prine, Passenger has the unique ability to move from the humorous to heartbreaking with every song.Īfter a year spent crisscrossing the UK and US with his debut album Wicked Man’s Rest, Passenger’s markedly stripped down and soulful second album Wide Eyes Blind Love was brought to the public as it was created: on the road. Formerly a five-piece band, Passenger has now pared back to basics, quite literally bringing music to the streets on a series of lengthy busking journeys across Australia, America and the United Kingdom.
