Nestor are set to present their thrilling live energy on record for the first time with their new album, Live at Gothenburg Film Studios, out August 14 via Napalm Records.

Originally formed back in 1989, the band took the international rock scene by storm with its comeback and first music releases in 2021, unleashing the debut album Kids In A Ghost Town (earning a Swedish Hard Rock/Metal Grammis nomination!). The following studio album, Teenage Rebel (2024), entered several charts internationally (incl. #12 on the Official German Album Charts and #19 in Sweden), and the band has gathered millions of streams on several of their hits. 

On Live at Gothenburg Film Studios, Nestor showcase their nostalgic, ’80s-inspired melodic anthems in a new light — infused with their signature, radiant live presence. The band has won over live audiences around the world, from huge European festivals to the Monsters Of Rock Cruise in the U.S. and headline shows in Japan, and shared stages with legends like Kiss and Europe. Now, the band is gearing up to release its first-ever live album. Make sure to pre-order your physical copy, and stay tuned for the first single!

Vocalist Tobias Gustavsson comments: “When I listen to Live at Gothenburg Film Studios, it becomes clear to me that it shows everything that Nestor was about, from the beginning. A live performance with all the little quirks and mistakes that make it human, a thing that I have learned to love even more in an era of AI-generated music. Live at Gothenburg Film Studios is less clinical and more of a human experience in comparison to our studio albums and shows a different side of Nestor. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did recording it on stage.”

Live at Gothenburg Film Studios treats fans old and new to a hefty selection of live versions of future classics from Nestor‘s celebrated catalogue. The band brings the heat with a new rendition of the track “Firesign” (originally from Kids in a Ghost Town, 2021) – catchy riffs and rhythms carry the heavily 80s-inspired, authentic sound that is topped with impressive rock vocals.

The nostalgia-drenched following track “Teenage Rebel” (title track of the latest studio album, 2024) gets audiences singing along without fail with its irresistible chorus that is accompanied by emotion-loaded melodies and massive riffs. Further highlights of this extensive, 16-track offering include a live rendition of one of the biggest Nestor hits to date, “On The Run” (also from the praised debut Kids in a Ghost Town, 2021), featuring epic, AOR-inspired keys and guitars, and another one of the band’s possibly catchiest singalong-choruses so far. 

This comprehensive live album, available even as a DVD, draws from Nestor‘s impressive repertoire of arena-worthy anthems and rock ballads, polished with the very best AOR and classic 80s rock influences. Without a doubt, Nestor continues their steady mission to restore the glory of rock!

Did you know The Devil Wears Prada 2 is coming out this Friday? As in, the Friday before Met Gala Monday? The marketing behind the sequel to the 2006 blockbuster is absolutely nuts. Olivia Rodrigo just parodied it for SNL. I just Googled the movie and a pair of animated pitchforked stilettos walked across my computer screen. They’re also pulling out the big guns for the soundtrack, which we already know has a Lady Gaga and Doechii collab. Today the full Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack has been revealed.
