Gott nytt.

Dear Friends. Just like Johnny I also wanted to sum up 09 for us all with a few words. Even though he beat me to it. I'm just not able to keep up with him sometimes.
When I look back on year nine I quickly realize it carried a lot for all of us. While the world might remember this year as a year of financial crisis or the year Obama became president, I will always think of it as the year when we released SONGS FOR THE FALLEN APART. Our best album to date by far. To the sound of both fantastic and horrific reviews we released our new baby into first Scandinavia and then Mainland Europe. And we did the greatest tours we ever done this year. And grew a lot more confident in our own ability. For me, the best shows were this springs outdoor headline gig at the Get-A-Gig Festival in our native Karlstad, the Peace And Love show in 28 degree heat and the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg. All very different but equally fabulous.

On a personal level it has been a year of change during these last months. Sometimes hard to adapt to and sometimes the kind of change that makes you wanna dive into it, head first, without thinking twice. I wanna thank my brothers Anders, Oskar and Johnny for all we did this year.
For 2010 I will try to write more and drink less. What are your promises?
XO ANTON

My promise is loving and supporting you until the end of time, not only in 2010!

Happy New Year to the band who owns my heart!

P.S. The Reeperbahn Festival boat gig was something special indeed.

Jag kommer också komma ihåg 2009 som songs for the fallen apart året! Och 2010 blir året då Molotov Jive tar över världen?!!

Jag har haft ett riktigt bra år (vuxit sjukt mycket som person och har aldrig gjort så många nya saker och träffat så många nya vänner som i år). Så, ett löfte blir att göra allt för att 2010 ska bli bättre än 2009, för annars är det ju ingen mening, om man inte strävar efter det bästa.

Sist men inte minst, med risk för att låta sockertoppssmörig, så måste jag hålla med Isa och Hanna. SFTFA är 2009 även för mig.

Mitt løfte for 2010 er å meir øl og meir konserta! Eller det er vel kanskje meir som ein plan :]
