Los Angeles, CA, August 7th, 2014 – The Swedish born producer/artist known as Big Swede has a new rock project named “Refurbished” and is releasing an album on September 23rd, 2014. The album title will be “Only Want The Best” and includes 13 tracks in a full throttle, straight ahead rock vein. There will be a single released on August 19th, 2014, titled “Show Up For The Showdown,” as a first taste of what to expect.

“It’s been a long time coming for me to release a rock record. I started with inviting a few of my friends and it ended up being 17 guests when it was all recorded. I’m thrilled to have this group of musicians on this record. I was choosing the guests for each track as I went along. The mixture of players on certain tracks are quite interesting,” says Big Swede.
