Daniel Bellqvist, Frederik Zäll and Jocke Brunnberg formed Eskobar in 1994, after their love for music finally inspired them to start a band together. They only released their debut album ‘Til We’re Dead in 2000. Their finest moment came a year (and an album) later. In 2001, their collaboration with Heather Nova, Someone New, became a pan-European hit. It even reached American viewers via MTV.

Fast forward to 2020. Eskobar still exists and just released a new single: When Your Heroes Fall. A fine pop song once again, with PM Dawn kind of vibes. It reminds me a little of their Set Adrift On Memory Bliss, which can only be a good thing.
