Teenage Rebel

Teenage Rebel is the second album, released by Napalm Records on 31 May 2024 — the label Nestor signed to worldwide in 2022, after putting the debut out themselves. The band called it something like a sequel to Kids in a Ghost Town: set in the glory days when they were young and confident and the future looked endless, but also about how they look back on those days now. Tobias Gustavsson and Håkan Glänte produced, Sebastian Forslund and Glänte mixed, and Thomas Johansson mastered once again. The opening “The Law of Jante” is a monologue spoken by the Danish voice actress Freya Miller. Do not think you are anything special — putting the Jante Law, that deep-rooted Scandinavian social code, at the door of a record about teenage rebellion is a good joke well told. “We Come Alive” then detonates. Of the lead single “Victorious,” the band said it is about following your heart and refusing to give up, and that this had been their guideline ever since they started in the late 1980s. The album reached number 12 in Germany and number 19 at home in Sweden.
