Fred Lee & The Restless Reveal ‘ You Were Anyone, But Not Anywhere….’ Video

Fred Lee (aka Fredrik Lindkvist), has previously made himself a name in the Scandinavian hardcore punk scene with Totalt Jävla Mörker, Knugen Faller, Royal Downfall, RIWEN and Sista Brytet. However his new project shows a different side to the veteran, and he has now released a video for his new single, You Were Anyone, But Not Anywhere…. The track is a folk infused song that brings everything back to the basics: a guitar, a small (almost non existent) stage and a small crowd. There’s no need to pretend you are a rock star when your music is sincere and is not afraid to show your true self and reach to other people’s heart. That’s what music is supposed to do. Fred Lee And The Restless decided to capture this feeling in a very simple yet effective video to deliver this song’s message.

“I’ve done gigs for 500-1500 people, which felt incredibly cool. However, most gigs have been in front of a small, rather uninterested audience. On such occasions, your willingness to continue to create and express yourself with the music is tested, your willingness to be able to give everything even though the audience is yawning. I have loved such occasions, the hope of reaching out to one or two people gives me the strength to continue. This is what we wanted to capture with this video, and as the world looks now with the pandemic, there is nothing to lose. We’ll just wait until it’s time again, time to rock. In this video my wife does the background singing and she’s been such a great supporter of my music. This is also the first song I wrote for Fred Lee & The Restless.”

Fred Lee and the Restless will release their debut album, Sleepwalking in Daylight, on the 4th June via Lövely Records. The album can now be pre-ordered via Bandcamp
