C.K.O. (Hard Rock – Sweden) – Signs with Sliptrick Records, and will release the album “Are You With Me” “sometime soon” #cko

In mid August 2020, Claes Karlsson (ex, Blacksmith Legacy) started C.K.O. as an musical project with a bounch of unfinished song ideas that he would like to record. Producer Tim “Meck” Johnsson was already in the project and they decided to contact vocalist Johan Widerberg (ex, FRANK, LoveHandles, Emerald) to see if he was interested in joining the party! Fortunately, he was!

Johan started writing song melodies and lyrics with a frenzy and soon the recordings of a whole album was in the making! Guitarist Martin Sturesson (ex, Blacksmith Legacy) was already in the project as an studio musician Gustav Bromelius (Burning Alien, Blåval ex, Blacksmith Legacy) came in on Bass. Drummer Rikki “the basterd” Dahl (ex, Nasty Idols, FRANK, 69-Hard, Camtwisters, The Weaklings) joined and the project turned into a full band ready to rock both in the studio and live on stage! Guitarist Anders Pålsson (ex, Bulldoggs, Point Riot) also joined the band after the recordings and will replace Martin live and on the next album.

The album produced is called Are You With Me and will receive worldwide release on CD and digital via Sliptrick Records soon.

C.K.O. are:
Claes Karlsson – Guitars | Johan Widerberg – Vocals | Rikki “the bastard” Dahl – Drums | Gustav Bromelius – Bass | Anders Pålsson – Guitars
