Den 4:e september släpper det nya bandet Stiletto debut-EP:n ”Going Under” och den 12:e juni presenteras den första singeln i form av plattans titelspår. Så här går att läsa i ett pressmeddelande:

Stiletto is a new melodic rock act emerging from Stockholm, Sweden, bringing together experienced musicians with a shared passion for powerful songwriting, strong melodies, and music that leaves a lasting impression. 

Their brand new and first single Going Under is released on 12th of June, 2026. The first single taken from their upcoming debut EP, to be released 4th of september, 2026. 

About the band:

The band was formed by guitarist and songwriter Andi Sarandopoulos, known from the band Strykenine, after connecting with vocalist Noelle Barton. The chemistry between the two was immediate, and it quickly became clear that the collaboration had the potential to grow into something much bigger. With a clear musical vision and a strong creative drive, the foundation for Stiletto was set.

From the very beginning, drummer Henrik Remesaho (known from the band Strykenine) became an essential part of the project, helping shape the band’s dynamic sound. The lineup was soon completed by keyboardist Alex Zackrisson and bassist Tony Bakircioglu — both also recognized from Strykenine — creating a band built on chemistry, musicianship, and years of experience.

Drawing inspiration from the golden era of melodic rock while adding their own modern edge, Stiletto aims to deliver songs that combine memorable hooks, emotional depth, and high-energy performances. Their focus is not only on strong melodies and polished production, but also on writing songs with meaning — music that resonates both musically and lyrically.

Quote from the band about their new single: 
 
“As this is our first release we want to give people a glimpse of what one can expect from us. We feel that ‘Going Under’ gives a clear sense of what we’re about musically. Without going too deep, lyrically this song is about hitting rock bottom, but still not giving up on finding that spark that makes it easier to bounce back from the depths. We hope everyone that listens to it enjoys it as much as we do, because this track is gonna be a blast to play live!” – Andi Sarandopoulos
 
Coming from Sweden, a country long renowned for producing world-class rock and melodic music, the band is fully aware of the legacy they step into. Rather than simply following tradition, Stiletto embraces the challenge. They know the standard is high — and they have no intention of lowering it. With ambition, craftsmanship, and a determination to stand out, Stiletto is set to make their mark on the melodic rock scene.

Make sure to pre-save their brand new single, its something new and fresh for the Melodic Rock/AOR community. It might not be something you knew you needed. But its definitely something that will stick with you.
