For more than a decade, Robert Hurula has delivered his unfiltered social realism with absolute urgency and acute relevance. To date, Hurula has released five critically acclaimed studio albums: We are the people our parents warned us about. (2014) Weapons for the hopeless (2016) Class (2019) Jehovah (2020) as well Nobody's in love this year and other songs (2022). In addition, he has released the live album In a gravel parking lot (Live) and two EPs Concrete children (2014) as well Us is everything (2018)
In recent years, Hurula has received many successes and accolades. Among other things, she has been awarded the Grammis for Rock of the Year three years in a row, named one of Sweden's top live acts, nominated several times for both the P3 Gold and the Grammy Awards, and praised for their participation in Sommar i P1 (2023).
On their sixth studio album EXISTENCE Hurula portrays self-experienced, dark and social-realist stories. Once again, he reminds us why his music continues to touch and that he is still one of the country's most important storytellers. EXISTENCE was recorded live at Redmount Studios in Stockholm together with producer Niklas Berglöf.
This fall, Hurula will embark on an extensive tour of Scandinavia. It will be his first solo tour since 2022 and a long-awaited opportunity to see him again after his acclaimed performance at Way Out West a few weeks ago. The tour will also include Nektar on the second part of the tour and will land on the main stage before Hurula on January 30th.
Aftonbladet – 4 out of 5 "(…) it becomes clear that Robert Hurula "now seriously has succeeded in anchoring it in the people's soul of yet another new young generation"
Expressen – 4 out of 5 "It's actually a shame that this was Hurula's only gig this summer."
Gradvall – 4 out of 5 "That he was awarded the Grammis in the Rock of the Year category three years in a row – 2019, 2020, 2021 – was not undeserved. The new album is complete in a way that brings to mind Kent's Weapons & Ammunition."
