ARSADI – Indie Rock with a Grand Pop Heart

ARSADI crafts emotionally rich indie rock shaped by shimmering synths, rhythmic guitar work, and sweeping vocals. Based in Uppsala, Sweden, their sound blends alt-leaning rock with the infectious energy of arena pop—perfect for euphoric playlists and emotionally charged road trip soundtracks. Fans of kent, Deportees, Shout Out Louds, and Coldplay will feel right at home in ARSADI’s lyrically rich world full of high emotion and captivating anthems.
Formed after frontman Anthony Bachtiar returned from music studies in London, ARSADI grew from solo demos into a full band driven by artistic exploration and playful energy. The group—Anthony, Nils Öberg, Feria Hikmet, and Malkolm Bonander—earned early acclaim through groove-tinged, eclectic pop that evolved into a bold, unified sound: Indie rock with soaring melodies, textured production, anthemic pop hooks, and emotional resonance.
Their 2023 EP Introspections marked a turning point, praised for its polished production and lyrical depth. Tracks like “Overcome the Night” and “Fade In Fade Out” explore anxiety, resilience, and the pursuit of happiness through poetic allegories and references to literature and visual art.
After winning regional competitions and repeatedly playing the biggest stage at Uppsala's Kulturnatten Festival, ARSADI enters a new chapter with Rexius Records. A fresh wave of releases will continue channeling their emotionally driven, high-energy sound toward the big stage.
