 Krissy Matthews & The Vikings releases the explosive first single and title track from 'Rock’n’Roll Soldier' Album release: April 10, 2026 The explosive first single and title track from Rock’n’Roll Soldier announces a bold new chapter for Krissy Matthews alongside his Viking brothers, Trond Hansen (bass) and Kåre Amundsen (drums). Raw, urgent and electrifying, “Rock’n’Roll Soldier” captures the power and chemistry of a band firing on all cylinders. At the crossroads of tradition and innovation, Matthews channels the spirit of blues, R&B and rock ’n’ roll into something fiercely contemporary. His adventurous songwriting and searing guitar work breathe new life into classic forms, while the trio’s no-nonsense groove delivers maximum impact with a stripped-down, high-voltage edge. The album also features an all-star lineup of international guests, including Tommy Castro (US), Will Wilde (UK), Pablo van de Poel of DeWolff (NL), Hans Theessink (AU/NL), Ida Maria (NO) and Tora Dahle Aagård (NO), among others. Together, they create a recording brimming with camaraderie, spontaneity and a palpable live energy. “We had a very small window to write and record this album,” says Matthews. “So we tracked most of it live together in a small room. It was a loose, fun and free session where everyone could experiment and express themselves without judgement.” That spirit is unmistakable throughout the record — from the frantic drive of the title track to the hypnotic “Fell In Love With A Girl,” the instrumental exploration of “Tore Hund,” and an inventive take on the iconic “44 Blues.” Rock’n’Roll Soldier is more than an album — it’s a statement. A wild, high-powered ride that proves Krissy Matthews and his Viking trio are ready to carry the torch of blues-rock into fearless new territory.
