Fretless were formed in autumn 2009 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Right from the start there was a great response when the trio played live and they created quite a buzz on the local circuit. In 2010 they started recording their album “Local Heroes”, which they mastered at the well known studio, Bohus Sound, near their native Gothenburg.

Many labels showed an interest in the album, but they decided to work together with E.L.T. Records in Birmingham (UK). In December 2010 the album ‘Local Heroes‘ was released digitally and can now be found on all major download sites.The track ‘Rock You’ was used on the soundtrack for the Swedish film ‘The Jaukka Brothers’, which was released in 2010 by Doppelganger Film in Stockholm.In January 2011 the physical CD was released. After the release party at Valand in Gothenburg on January 28’th, many radio stations worldwide picked up on and played the album.
