SHA-BOOM – Another Nail In The Coffin (2026) HQ *0dayrox Premiere*

SHA-BOOM burst out of Stockholm in 1987 and, within months, were sharing festival bills with Scandinavian hard rock royalty such as Europe and Treat. Now, decades later, Dag Finn – always the driving force behind Sha-Boom – has returned at the helm with renewed energy and purpose, ready to pick up exactly where the band left off.
That return comes with ”Another Nail In The Coffin’‘, to be released on August 28th via Silver Lining Music. Boasting big choruses and plenty of smiles, the album is only interested in bringing you back to days when fun was the name of the rock ‘n’ roll game, bridging generations with unapologetic rock ‘n’ roll flair.
Produced and mixed by genius Erik Mårtensson, it’s a trip back to the halcyon ‘80s, when songs and melodies truly mattered, with Sha-Boom standing ready to remind the world why their name still echoes in Scandinavian rock history…

SHA-BOOM – The Race Is On (re-mixed by Tommy Denander) HQ *Exclusive*

Norwegians SHA-BOOM become a sensation in Scandinavia at the end of the Eighties / early Nineties with their mixture of poppy radio-rock and commercial AOR. They returned in 2005 with only original member Dag Finn at the helm (even though ex- bassist Peo Thyren has helped out with some lyrics) and Tommy Denander as partner in crime. The result was “The Race Is On“, a celebration of feel-good Melodic Rock and sing-along tunes. This is the 2012 re-release slightly re-mixed.
Dag Finn assembled a cast of excellent players for this album who need no introduction to those who follow the Swedish scene – including Kee Marcello, the late Marcel Jacob (TALISMAN), Dan Helgesen (PHENOMENA, SALUTE), Daniel Flores (ALFONZETTI, FROZEN RAIN), all EUROPE members, and more… check out the awesome personnel below. No doubt Tommy Denander’s contacts enabled this new effort to have a record label behind it. Denander himself play guitar & keyboards.
“The Race Is On” is million times harder than the band’s earlier albums, combining catchy melodic rock sounds with rockin’ Scandi AOR…
