With the album "Sci-Fi Romance" The Confusions travels back to their youth with stories from the 80’s, to a place and time where anything were possible, then again mixes this with today topics.
The band blends musical influences from the 70’s and 90’s to create their trademark sound where pulsating synths blends with indie charm.  
The Confusions formed in 1991 by a gang of childhood friends in the suburb of Skönsberg in Sundsvall, Sweden, an industrial town in the north, better known for its punk, postpunk and metal scene. But being an outsider can be sometimes be to your advantage.

Second album “Everyone’s Invited” - produced by Peter Svensson from The Cardigans, smashed all the doors open to numerous releases and tours all over the world. It was crowned with the title of “one of this year’s five top album” by Record Collector.

Some years later a gig at SXSW would open the door for some touring of US and finally also a Nordic MTV no 1 for the video to The Pilot. The band survived all the ups and downs of an indie band, still constantly touring, developing and releasing records. Building a bond between the members that is really special.

After a challenging period, the band built a studio and 2008 recorded the more than one hour long self-produced album “The Story Behind the Story”, by many regarded as their finest work.
