‘Julstress’

HO! HO! HO!  IT’S CHRISTMAS and Swedish rockers Pressure have penned their first Christmas song! ‘Julstress’ sees its release 11th December, 2020 and this is one Christmas song that will stand out from the crowd!

From the opening riff you’ll be rocking out for the full 2.35 and you’ll never think of ‘Jingle Bells’ in the same way every again! The track may well be delivered with driving guitar riffs and a sometimes growling bass vocal but it still manages to touch on the sensitive issue of how some people struggle with the pressure of the festivities. 

The guys wrote the track as a distraction whilst getting their heads down writing new material that will see the light of day in 2021. There will be a full video supporting the release.

The Band

Who are Pressure I hear you ask? Well if you had to tag them with a genre the one that fits best is a ‘melodic rock’ but they’re so much more than that. Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden and with vocalist Olof Jönsson you can always guarantee soaring, athletic and committed vocals.  Together with a twin guitar sound coming from songwriter and lead guitarist Simon “Siirpo” Forsell and Emil Salling. Their work often focuses and embraces the pressures felt from everyday existence. Their lyrics ably demonstrating that there are two sides to every story - the good and the bad. Every song has a double meaning and they truly see music as a tool to handle the different pressures thrown at us from the modern world. 

The band began their journey together in 2018, and since then they’ve worked tirelessly developing their sound and live performance, their aim? To make memories with their fans and to an epic musical soundtrack.

A quote that can summarize their lyrics is: “How can you tell a story about life if you haven’t dared to live life to its fullest! 

Pressure is all about every story, every moment, every Pressure!

Julstress - Lyrics

INTRO

A star shining with a marvelous light

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

Yeah! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

VERSE

You’re running around, Christmas should be white

We need to buy our Christmas gifts

There’s shouting and lots of work, almost like a rite

Don’t forget to light the candles, wrap the gifts, do the rhyme 

and don’t forget the cards

Dress the tree and your children too

Soon the guests will arrive but there’s millions of things left 

For everyone except me

BRIDGE

To be alone at Christmas

Can never be fun, right? (no, no, no, no)

CHORUS

Christmas is here, but I'm taking it easy, I sit down and take a deep breath

No stress, just relax Christmas is best when I´m alone

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way 

Yeah! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

VERSE

Christmas can be chaos, everyone is here now

Put the gifts under the Christmas tree,

Where is Santa and the porridge? Who found the almond?

The drinks glitter in the bar

Ham, turkey, gravy and a little more

The children are screaming and playing

Do you want to sit down? No the party needs more

You just smile but can never relax

To be alone when it's Christmas

Can be really nice, right? (yes, yes, yes, yes)

CHORUS

Christmas is here, but I'm taking it easy, I sit down, take a deep breath

No stress, no agitation

Christmas is best when I´m alone

INTERLUDE

The cold of the midwinter night is severe, the stars sparkle and twinkle,

Everyone is sleeping in the Christmas calm deep below the midnight sky,

The moon travels its silent path, the snow shines white on pine and oak,

the snow glows white on the rooftops.

Only Santa is awake

What!? is Santa naked?
