ABOUT SONGS ABOUT BELIEFS

The record was written, recorded and produced by highly productive Niels Höjgaard Sörensen - the man behind Stöj Snak - and originally released on orange vinyl in November 2012. The record follows "Planned Obsolescence", released April 2012. On "Songs About Beliefs" Stöj Snak has invited a lot of different musicians and friends to join him, creating a more layered sound that still remains true to the uncompromising folkcore that Stöj Snak displayed on the debut.

The Record has already reached high critically acclaim around the world. To mention a few:

“Amazing artwork, amazing lyrics and message, idealism, songs for your soul.”
5/5 – Empty Zine

“…a definite must have. A really honest and heartfelt record, you won’t hear any better than this!”
Lights Go Out Fanzine

"This is music with heart and soul, topped off with great vocal melodies that on at least two occasions showcases world-class songwriting."
8/10 – Rockfreaks.net

“Probably the best thing to come out of Denmark after “The Killing” TV series.”

Niels has musical roots deep in the underground soil and he has travelled most of Europe and even as far as Russia with the melodic hardcore band Mighty Midgets. The band has a number of releases under their belt and has reached great acclaim in the underground but remained below the mainstream radar.

Stöj Snak takes a step away from the punk sound but remains true to the DIY ethics and political outlook of the scene. It also does not take long to find the punk energy in Stöj Snak’s music which has been described as if Bob Dylan was the playing in Green Day – especially live where Stöj Snak, only armed with just a guitar, a harmonica and a lamp, have incited to heavy sing-along and well as both mosh pits and crowd surfing.
