Denmark’s Stöj Snak To Release “Gravity” EP

Danish quartet Stöj Snak are set to return with Gravity, a four-track EP that will be released through digital platforms and on 7″ vinyl via TNSrecords on the 28th November. Blending their trademark folk-punk sound with a broader range of styles and moods, the EP moves from the sombre introspection of Playgrounds to the distorted, full-throttle attack of Philosophical Malfunction. The title track features Sigurvin Sigurdsson on vocals and guitar, marking a departure from the band’s usual social commentary in favour of a more personal and introspective lyrical approach. Across its four tracks, Gravity embraces the contrasts between melancholy and anger, vulnerability and defiance, reflecting the disjointed experience of navigating an increasingly bewildering world. After Stöj Snak took a break for several years, frontman Niels Højgaard Sørensen continued writing and recording songs that ultimately became the foundation for the EP. Rather than force the material into a conventional album, he decided to bring together a selection of tracks that reflect the different sides of the band’s songwriting. Stöj Snak will also be appearing at the 2027 Manchester Punk Festival.

“Stöj Snak was kind of on a break for a few years but I kept writing and recording songs. The songs generally fell in two categories: introspective, mellow ballads or angry-at-the-world ragers. I couldn’t see the songs fit into a cohesive album and they ended up just rotting in my computer. At some point I just said ‘fuck it!’ and decided to put a few of them together for this EP, this band can be whatever we want it to be. It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to… Or scream when that’s what feels right! The world is a weird and nonsensical place at the moment, so maybe this disjointed collection is a pretty accurate picture of what life feels like; one moment you lose hope for the future and withdraw into nostalgia and the next you feel like you’re about to explode in angry hopefulness because it just sucks too much if the wealth-hoarding goblins of the world get to destroy everything that’s great about life.” (Niels Højgaard Sørensen)
