The Swedish band Zitter, with their unique constella-tion of Fred Z (vocals/bass), BG (guitar) and MacCalico Adee (software drummer), play vultureistic beak n' roll machine music. It is hardrock blended with punk; groovy riffs combined with machine precision. Grinding guitars and punchy bass lines melt together with steady drum patterns. And, as the icing of the cake, atmospheric and leading synths. At the core of every Zitter song are vocal and instrumental melodies. This is indeed true for the band's latest, seven-track release Bubblegum God.
Right from the top, the album Bubblegum God engage the highest gear with the energetic, new live favourite track, Backstage. It is followed by the edgy and catchy Fake News Generation, a song about today's political climate. During 2023, Zitter has kickstarted their shows with the up tempo rocker Punk n' Roll; here comes the studio version. New Me is a more mellow, yet heavy track, with lyrics about a great loss, a theme the band dedicated the entire release Still Alive but in a Different Way (2017) to. The title track Bubblegum God is, together with Hummingbird or Mockingbird, classic rock with a bit of jesting, but still serious lyrical content. The album is wrapped up with Zitters' own version of Underground Rockstarz, a track Zitter recorded together with eight other bands from Stockholm in the spring of 2023. It was released as a single on May 17th. Bubblegum God was written, recorded, mixed and produced by Zitter. Jon Rinneby, Sound of wool, mastered the album.
Live, Zitter turns the stage into a crazy arena of spontaneous-chaotic choreography. All under the supervision of their vulture family. Zitter strives to be entertainers and refuses to leave anyone untouched. This, Zitter has proved in clubs in their hometown Stockholm as well as in other cities in Sweden and Denmark. Time has now come to prove it once again. The upcoming shows on the Blow an Angry Bubble dates in 2023-2024 will be built around old Zitter favourites and songs from the band's two latest albums, Angry Bird and Bubblegum God, both released in 2023.
Zitter release their music digitally on their own independent label Vulture Nest Productions; distributed by Kobolt (AWAL Digital Limited).
Zitters' music is available on all major digital music distribution platforms.

Reviews
"… not many others sounds like them … And even though it's a bit heavier, it's still catchy and don with attitude and passion… Good variation and good songs:" Hard Rock Info, 2021-08-12
"Zitter's 'Intoxicated World' is a different and captivating listen." R. Scott Bolton, Rough Edge
"Zitter has a great melodic sleazy rock and roll sound … Most of the songs are uptempo and feature catchy hooks and melodic choruses to sing along to… The new album might be their best effort so far …" Gabor Kleinbloesem, Strutterzine, 2021-10-28
"An intriguingly eclectic album, with a pleasing level of variety, getting better, with each track, 'Intox cated World' is surprisingly versatile …" Rock Queen Reviews, 2021-11-15
"Zitter has a completely different sound and it's a modern sound and quite its own sound somehow. I feel like you haven't really heard it before. I actually like it a lot and I feel like they've taken the rather conservative style of hard rock to make something very own out of it." Skrutt Magazine, 2021-08-31
