After kicking off 2025 with the emotionally charged “I’ll Die If You’re Done” (April 25) and the infectious anthem “Wild Ones” (May 16), the band continues its upward trajectory with “Cyanide”, a track that encapsulates the band’s signature fusion of Classic Rock roots and contemporary power.
The bassist Filip Westgärds declared: “Cyanide is a song about chasing the high of something you can’t control. It’s the thrill of passion wrapped in destruction, where every touch pulls you deeper and the line between love and self-destruction has completely blurred. In the autumn of 2024, Andreas Nyström sent me a draft of the lyrics, and I did all the melody and finished the song. We sent the demo to Erik Mårtensson and he made the song even better! After hitting the studio with the rest of the boys it truly feels like a real Rockets anthem!”
Andy and the Rockets have come a long way since their early days, when their sound leaned toward retro Rock’n’Roll and rockabilly influences. Over the past few years, they’ve undergone a compelling transformation, blending their vintage soul with a punchy, modern rock approach that draws comparisons to acts like Foo Fighters, Volbeat, and Eclipse.
Their 2023 album INCOGNITO was a breakout moment, featuring standout tracks like “In Vain, Black Heart Gold”, and “I’ll Be There For You”. The record earned them strong streaming numbers, chart placements, and heavy rotation on Swedish Radio, where one of their singles became one of the most played songs of the decade.
With millions of streams and a growing international fanbase, the band has proven they’re more than just a local act. Their music has been featured on top editorial playlists, they’ve been championed by rock media across Europe, and they’ve become a staple on the live circuit, bringing their loud, sweaty, and stylish performances to both festivals and clubs.
Cyanide continues this evolution. Written by Filip Westgärds, Andreas Nyström (Katatonia), and Erik Mårtensson (Eclipse), and produced and mixed by Mårtensson at Mass Destruction Production, the song reflects the band’s current direction: tighter, heavier, more emotionally focused, and built for big stages.
With new music on the way and momentum on their side, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for the Swedish Hard Rockers Andy and the Rockets!
