ABANDONED BY BEARS aus Göteborg spielen eine Mischung aus Pop und Hardcore und nennen ihren Sound selbst "Easycore". Am 29. April erscheint mit "The Years Ahead" das neue Album der Schweden via Victory Records. Ihren Sound beschreiben sie wie folgt:
"We don't follow the norm or what is right or wrong, we follow what we think sounds good. Our songwriting process is very unorthodox in a way, since we record everything ourselves, we can basically decide when we want to record and that gives us a type of freedom which shines through in the songs. All of us have the ability to play and understand each others instruments, so everyone writes, whether it’d be melodies, lyrics, guitar leads or drum fills."
