Running Progress Productions for 20 years now. The first release came 20th October 2004. And the company was founded in 20 April 2024. There are a few things im really proud of. One of them is not giving up. Even though many times like most of us you do get the thought of "what the f**k" am i doing. Sometimes working with bands that dont really understand things, sometimes i dont understand things. But it the end. The idea of Progress was to build something. I am not saying that i personally hold any supercredits for doing this. I have said many times "It is the bands that do the label, NOT the way around". I can still stick to that to this day. When i started the label i had two sources of inspiration. One was Cold Meat Industry and the second one Ant.Zen. These are up-to-this-day my source of inspiration. Thank you Stefan Alt and Roger Karmanik.

One milestone was putting together the Progress Productions 20 Years compilation. A 2CD special with 27! tracks. All the bands showing a wide spectrum of alternative music from synthpop to industrial to postpunk. I really want to thank YOU all the bands for being the absolute best of what you are. True gems.

The compilation can be ordered via Progress, Poponaut, Bengans or any other store you prefer.

A special thanks to Peter Nyborg who made the artwork. Thank you!

It´s now time to start the work on year 21.... and trust me I have already peaked into it... you are in for a lot of fantastic things.

Out today on Progress Productions // Lucifer's Aid "State Trooper EP" (PROCD131) a special limited edition 3" CD where mastermind Calle Nilsson pay tribute to Bruce Springsteen covering three tracks of the classic album "Nebraska".

Calle Nilsson: Nebraska may seem to be the overall opposite of my music. But there is a darkness and monotonous sound in both Lucifer's Aid and Bruce Springsteen's songs. And especially on his album Nebraska. The sound and the expression on that album have always fascinated me.
Nebraska was released in 1982 and it was recorded at a four channel porta studio. The strength of the album is precisely the three chords and the lyrics that sit deep with the listener. There are songs about hopelessness, loneliness, longing and sometimes a bit of hope.

I have always had a great admiration for Bruce Springsteen's music and have long thought about making interpretations of his music. The album Nebraska is very close to me. It was not the first record I heard from Springsteen but it was the one that touched me the most. And it has followed me since my early teens.

With this EP I wanted to put my personal touch on Bruce Springsteen's songs. But at the same time not lose the nerve that are in the original songs.
