Rotten Mind is a dynamic punk rock band with a distinctive sound that fuses raw melodies with a gritty, garage-infused sensibility. Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Uppsala, Sweden, the group has made a significant impact since their formation in 2015. Comprising Jakob Arvidsson (vocals/guitar), Johan Landin (guitar), Tim Rosenqvist (bass), and Victor Nordin (drums), Rotten Mind quickly gained a reputation for their energetic live performances and a relentless dedication to refining their craft.

The band's recent repertoire showcases their evolution while staying true to their punk rock roots. Singles like "Visitor in the Present" and "Pointless Love" offer a raw, yet anthemic approach to modern punk, while tracks such as "Unflavored" echo the disillusionment and restlessness inherent in their genre. Their fourth studio album, "Rat City Dog Boy," released in 2020, captures the essence of Rotten Mind's ethos—bristling with fierce guitar work, impassioned vocals, and a profound sense of urgency. With songs like "Die Young," "Drifter," and "Serpent Eyes," the band constructs a social commentary wrapped in a rebellious spirit, pushing the boundaries of punk while paying homage to the pioneers who paved the way. Rotten Mind, with each subsequent release, solidifies its standing in the punk community, offering a contemporary soundtrack for those walking the fringes and questioning the status quo.
