Legendary rockers Sha-Boom return with the video for their irresistible new single, “Walk (Far Away)”, the track is taken from their highly anticipated new album, “Another Nail In The Coffin”, set for release on August 28th via Silver Lining Music.
“Walk (Far Away)” unfolds like a sweeping, multi-layered rock ’n’ roll sea shanty, infused with a touch of glam-rock swagger. Meanwhile, the video sees frontman Dag Finn loose on the streets of London, exploring the city’s iconic landmarks.
Dag’s words:
“The song carries the same energy, attitude and melodic rock spirit that defined the Sha-Boom’s most memorable releases. “Rather than simply looking back, I think ‘Walk (Far Away)’ successfully combines the unmistakable Sha-Boom sound of the 80s but with a fresh and modern production. For longtime fans, it is a reminder of why they fell in love with the band in the first place, while new listeners get a perfect introduction to the timeless style that made Sha-Boom a household name in Scandinavian rock.

Sha-Boom burst out of Stockholm in 1987 and, within months, were sharing festival bills with Scandinavian hard-rock royalty such as Europe and Treat. Their debut single, the fist-pumping anthem “R.O.C.K.,” shot straight to No. 1 across Sweden and Norway, and the self-titled album that followed confirmed them as one of the era’s defining melodic-rock acts. Now, decades later, Dag Finn – always the driving force behind Sha-Boom – has returned at the helm with renewed energy and purpose, ready to pick up exactly where the band left off.
“Another Nail In The Coffin” is an album that bridges generations with unapologetic rock ‘n’ roll flair. “Never Stop” is pure AOR-style top-down cruising down the highway, “Another Nail in the Coffin” has the swagger and attitude of early Def Leppard, and “One More Drink for the Road” sees the Sha-Boom family go full-generational, as the daughter of Finn’s long-time friend and collaborator Thomas Vikström (Therion, Candlemass), singer Linnéa Vikström of Thundermother, joins the party.
Produced and mixed by renowned producer Erik Mårtensson (Eclipsed), “Another Nail In The Coffin” is a trip back to the halcyon ‘80s, when songs and melodies truly mattered, with Sha-Boom standing ready to remind the world why their name still echoes in Scandinavian rock history.
