Farewell Youth Fest präsentiert: Occrasy + Prey Vision

Sweden’s new, young indie-rock sensation goes by the name of Occrasy and consists of Alfonz Lindström (vocals), Aurell Poetri, Dexter Swärd (guitar), Elvira Lööf (bass), and Filip Samuelsson (drums).

A little over a year ago, the band was still in its infancy—five friends from Borlänge, Sweden, who decided to play music in a basement just to pass the time. Their influences are clear—they cite The Beatles and The Hellacopters, among others, and, funnily enough, their music teacher was none other than Gustaf Norén of Mando Diao—but despite these influences, it quickly became clear that they wanted to set their own stories to music. “We give it our all for rock ’n’ roll,” says singer Alfonz when asked about the band’s shared drive. Since the release of their debut single “Local Coke” last year, Occrasy has played on more and more stages in Sweden and has become a highly sought-after band. With their explosive and unique stage presence, they’re among the most interesting bands leading the new wave of unfiltered guitar music
which is currently taking Sweden by storm.

Some bands take years to find their sound—Occrasy have developed a distinctive musical identity in just a few months. On their debut EP, released in August 2025 via Roxy Recordings/Playground Music, the band collaborated with producer Niklas Berglöf and recorded the music at the legendary Gröndal Studio in Stockholm. In 2026, Occrasy will release their debut album.
