Oz Hawe Petersson’s RENDEZVOUS (Osukaru) – S/T (2024) *HQ*

Oz Hawe Petersson’s RENDEZVOUS sees the union between Osukaru guitarist Oz Hawe Petersson and his former Eye (Sweden) keyboard player Mathias Rosén doing what they do best: Scandinavian Melodic Rock. Despite the band name, it is not a guitar-centric solo album but most definitely a project with both artists in the front seat.
Released by Pride & Joy Music, the self-titled debut album is an authentic collection of melodic peals with a classic sound for the genre – not only sounds like but also feels like a timeless record you grew up loving. It was written, performed and produced with every single note in focus, just like they used to.
“Rendezvous is not here to try and combine classic rock with any type of modern production,” Oz says. “Fact is, there is not a single keyboard sound, guitar amp or pedal on this album that is more recent than 1991. Everything you hear and see was made to create a sense of familiarity and nostalgic warmth – to bring out memories you never really had, yet they feel so real.”
Oz and Mathias is backed by an exciting cast of singers and musicians from the Scandinavian scene, including excellent vocalists Christian Rosander, David Forbes (Boulevard), Jane Gould (Iconic Eye), Osukaru’s Fredrik Werner, Vindictiv guitarist Stefan Lindholm, Manuel Heller (Violet), and more.
