CIVIL DAZE – Once In A Blue Moon (2025) *HQ*
”Once In A Blue Moon” is the debut album from CIVIL DAZE, a Melodic Rock band based in Upplands Väsby just north of Stockholm, Sweden. It has been said many times, but there must be some kind of secret rock’n’roll potion in the water around that area, since it’s also where bands like Europe, Candlemass, H.e.a.t, and Universe were born.
Civil Daze started out as the solo project of Mikael Danielsson. However, since he didn’t fancy his own voice, the songs were put on a shelf for some time as he was looking for the perfect singer. Playing together for years in different bands, Mikael realized that Helena Sommerdahl was “the one” who could give the songs some amazing new dimensions. They have since brought in their favourite musician friends to make Civil Daze complete. So even if the band is new, these guys have shared the stage thousands of times already.
The album is filled with both big AOR choruses and 70s-80s Melodic Rock in a cool and rocking mix. The title ”Once In A Blue Moon” (which means “something that occurs very rarely”) points to the fact that the album has been on the way for a very long time. After finding the perfect singer, there was a worldwide pandemic, heartbreak and that thing called life that always gets in the way. But now the album is finally here, and well worth the wait.
