Christian Määttä (Bombshell Rocks)

SPB: How has your local music scene changed since you were last active?

Määttä: Well, the majority of us live in other cities today so it's hard to keep up with the local scene in Västerås where we are from. But I know there is a new generation of kids struggling to make themselves a name. The biggest change is the lack of good venues. Most of them have been shut down unfortunately. But people in the scene have always been creative and have always found ways to put on concerts, so I’m not worried!
