Wake The President is made up of Bjorn and Erik Sandberg – Scottish twins who run a label and club night on the Glasgow indie scene.
We have just manufactured their second album Zumutung! (German for ‘imposition’), which the band has recently released on its own label We Can Still Picnic.
The band has noticeably become quite a lot darker and more introspective since their excellent 2009 debut, You Can’t Change That Boy. Zumutung! contains all the indie-pop elements of the first, and just seconds in has the catchy guitar riffs you would expect. It’s fast-paced, with quirky beats and pop guitar blended with hard emotion.
Already receiving some very positive reviews (Metro, Ravechild), no doubt Zumutung! will go on to become one of the highlights of 2012.
