    “The bastard child of Guns N Roses and Hanoi Rocks”

    Firework Mag, UK.

    The Cruel Intentions received top reviews both home and abroad (Metal Hammer, Sweden Rock Magazine, Uber Rock etc) for their debut album No Sign of Relief (2018)

    Their streaming numbers have been solid since 2018 and have recently exploded through their music being featured in the new HBO series The Peacemaker from the DC Comics universe.

    Borderline Crazy, Jawbreaker and Sick Adrenaline were handpicked by Peacemaker director James Gunn (Suicide Squad, GoTG) to be featured in the series. TCI and Hanoi Rocks are the only two bands with three songs featured in the series.

    Streaming figures currently over 4 000,000 streams on Spotify and well over 800,000 views on their videos on YouTube.

    TCI have been on extensive tours in Europe with, among others, the Crash Diet, and played at festivals in Germany, England, Sweden, Belgium, Italy, Norway

    ___________________________________________________________

    The Cruel Intentions are dangerously skilled and always out to have a great time!

    Serving you the perfect blend of melodrama and fun this Scandinavian sleaze rock band are ready to bring make the best rock music, and sweetest of street styles great again. For what is rock but a homage to the legends!

    The band was founded in 2015, by Mats Wernerson, Lizzy DeVine, Kristian Solhaug, and Eiliv Sagrusten who has now been replaced by Robin Nilsson on drums. All of which have a widespread band experience.

    Notably, Lizzy DeVine lived several years in Los Angeles where he was the singer and songwriter of Vains of Jenna, a band that got their breakthrough the American era of Rock´n Reality tv with performances on shows like Jackass, Viva La Bam, and Kat Von Dee’s LA Ink.

    This no-fucks-given culture has no doubt shaped DeVine and his attitude towards music that is also evident in The Cruel Intentions’ music

    In technical terms, the band plays around the esthetics of bands such as Guns ‘N Roses and Mötley Crue,and carries on the legacy

    of good old Rock ‘n’Roll into the contemporary youth of today. The songs are fast paced, humorous and at times really hard-hitting.

    The result is feelgood music with a fresh, original and modern expression, albeit strongly rooted in rock history.

    Easy to love and to relate to.

about

The wait is finally over and on June 3rd The Cruel Intentions are finally ready to release their long awaited second album Venomous Anonymous!

Fueled by drive, love and passion this is versatile and diverse summer present to all rock’n’lovers.

The band that has been described as “The bastard child of Guns N Roses and Hanoi Rocks” - Firework Mag, UK are reckless and intoxicating mix of old school sleaze and modern hard rock. Bringing forth fast paced, humorous and hard-hitting music; inspired by legends, and made to captivate a whole new generation of restless and fun loving rock’n’rollers.

Though it’s been a minute since their last release (No Sign of Relief 2018), the band has been anything but idle. The writing process for Venomous Anonymous started already late 2019, and the band has been touring extensively. And the band have seen a massive growth after three of their songs was featured in the Peacemaker HBO series directed by the notable James Gunn (Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy)

On the recording process The Cruel Intentions explain:
“It was a long and brutal process but looking back it was a lot of fun as well.

We started writing music back in late 2019 and had the first music video done by August 2020. For the Venomous Anonymous album, we recorded most of the songs in the pre-production faze and then we re-wrote, and rearranged the songs until perfection. Mats recorded Kristian and Jimmy's guitars and the bass at home and then Robin went to Mass Destruction Production in Sweden where he recorded drums with Erik Mårtensson. By the end of November 2021, we did all vocals and finishing touches with the help of Erik. We are really happy about the result and feel we ended up with a sound and expression we have worked towards since the very beginning.”
