about
O’Spada is a five piece based in Stockholm. Over the last year, the band’s reputation has grown in epic proportions as their unique brand of vintage pop has captivated audiences around the world. With diverse musical backgrounds - from hip hop to hardcore - the members met studying jazz, but were joined by the will to make pop music, and decided to drop school. The result is a sound that is not only original, but insanely catchy and extremely danceable. In 2008, O’Spada was snapped up by Swedish label Despotz, which saw the band live and was instantly mesmerized. The past year has been spent finishing O’Spada’s debut album Pay Off.
