GIRL SCOUT

In the organizer's words:

When you hear Girl Scout for the first time, you immediately sense this strange vibration between lightness and heaviness. Their songs sound as if they are in a space between times - between college nostalgia and the end of the world, between the dance floor and therapy. The Stockholm trio have built an entire album out of this limbo: "Brink", which will be released in March 2026, is their long overdue debut - and at the same time a statement about what it feels like to be young in a world that is constantly threatening to tip over.

It all began rather unspectacularly. Emma Jansson and Viktor Spasov studied jazz at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, played cover songs for a few kroner in bars, soon brought in their friend Per Lindberg on drums - and wrote their first original songs. Even before the band had released a single song, they were performing on festival stages in Scandinavia and accompanying Holly Humberstone on tour. This was followed by two acclaimed EPs and a wave of euphoria that made Girl Scout known far beyond the Swedish scene. "Brink" is now more than just a collection of indie rock songs. It is a record of life in between - between departure and exhaustion, doubt and longing.

The songs are not about life on the brink of disaster, but about the feeling of being stuck: feeling that change is necessary, but not knowing where it will lead. Jansson's voice carries this contradiction - sometimes shimmering, sometimes brittle, but always sincere. And yet: if you really want to understand Girl Scout, you have to see her live. Their concerts are not perfectly polished shows, but small eruptions. You see three musicians throwing themselves into their songs as if they wanted to reinvent them at the same moment. The melancholy "Weirdo" becomes a collective sigh of relief, the anthemic "I Just Needed You To Know" an invitation to forget everything uncertain for a moment.

Perhaps that is the secret of their success: Girl Scout remind us that music is not a place of retreat, but a place where you can endure the world. In spring 2026, the band will be coming to Germany for three concerts - those who attend will not only see a show, but feel a piece of the present that feels particularly alive on the precipice.
