Swedish punk legends Pridebowl return with “My 3 Letter Agency”, their latest single dropping September 3 via People of Punk Rock Records. A cornerstone of the European skate punk scene since the mid-’90s, Pridebowl’s comeback doesn’t feel like a throwback—it feels sharp, purposeful, and louder than ever.
Originally formed in 1994 when American vocalist Aaron Goulding joined forces with four Swedish punks in Varberg, Pridebowl quickly earned cult status for their tight, melodic style and socially charged lyrics. Albums like Where You Put Your Trust and Drippings of Mind Matter helped define a sound that was fast, thoughtful, and always full of heart. That same DNA pulses through “My 3 Letter Agency.”
This single follows last year’s explosive Picking Up the Pieces: Live at the Mill—a live album that reignited the flame with fans, capturing the band’s raw return on stage at Red Bridge Fest. But “My 3 Letter Agency” doesn’t rest on nostalgia. It moves forward, armed with clean production, crisp energy, and lyrics that still ask hard questions.
There’s urgency in the chords, clarity in the message, and zero compromise. Pridebowl aren’t here to relive the past—they’re here to remind you they never stopped meaning it.
