The Gristle drop scorching new single ‘Misfit’ ahead of debut album Urban Myths

Swedish rock duo The Gristle unleash their new single ‘Misfit’, offering one last explosive preview before their debut album Urban Myths lands March 6, 2026.

Raw, swaggering, and riff-heavy, ‘Misfit’ captures The Gristle at full tilt: part desert rock, part punk garage chaos, all power. Fans of Queens of the Stone Age, The Black Keys, and Jack White will feel at home, but The Gristle bring their own distinctly ragged energy to the mix. It’s dirtier, heavier, and unapologetically loud.

Built on thick grooves, fuzzed-out guitars, and pounding drums, ‘Misfit’ cements what makes The Gristle so gripping: the fact that just two people can sound this massive. Guitarist/vocalist Max Bob Malmquist and drummer Pete Jansson are the full engine behind the band; writing, producing, and performing everything themselves.
