Those Without Find Peace in the Chaos with “Serenity”
If you’ve yet to experience the electrifying rush that is Those Without, let me paint you a picture: imagine fast-paced rhythms colliding with heartwarming melodies, all tied together with lyrics that hit you right in the feels. Sounds like a recipe for musical bliss, doesn’t it? Well, that’s exactly what you can expect from this talented group of musicians.
Comprised of Oskar Westlin on vocals, Martin Spåman and Felix Lindquist on guitars, Filip Burman on bass, and Niki Hursti on drums, Those Without are no strangers to delivering killer performances that leave audiences begging for more. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Neck Deep, Hot Mulligan, and Loveless, they’ve managed to carve out a sound that is uniquely their own.
But what exactly is their new track “Serenity” all about? According to band members Filip and Martin, it’s about exploring a new direction while still staying true to their roots. Picture mellow verses building up to a massive chorus, all tied together with an anthemic bridge that will have you reaching for the nearest air guitar.
When asked about what it means to have this new track out to the world, the band has the following to share.
“Finally having Serenity out for the world to listen to is a blessing. I’ve (Oskar) been dealing with a lot of issues regarding my mental stability as of lately and Serenity is an extremely heartfelt song written about how one’s mental state affects a relationship and how a concept like reassurance can make every issue in the world go away, if only for a minute or two. But that minute is filled with bliss and is a state of pure serenity. We’re so thrilled that the song is finally out and we can’t wait to see what people think about it, seeing as the response in this short amount of time since its release has already been amazing.”
So go ahead, crank up the volume and let Those Without guide you on a journey to find peace amidst the chaos. After all, in a world as crazy as ours, we could all use a little more “Serenity” in our lives.
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
