Two Piece Puzzle is a band from Svedala, Sweden.
Some people say AOR. Some call it melodic rock.
And someone said it was 90’s pop/rock.

If I am not mistaken then this six song CD is the fourth release of this Swedish band. These six songs prove again that this band deserves to be heard by a wider audience than what they can reach with this demo CD. Opening song Stupid is a great up-tempo rocker it is catchy and shows off again the sexy voice of Anna Savhed. Anna is a girl with an excellent couple of vocal cords.

I’m still amazed that this band isn’t signed. Their music is mature and radio friendly. They have a couple of potential hits in their catalogue so it’s about time those labels woke up. TPP is certainly not a heavy band, but their blend of pop/rock is very catchy and excellent performed musically, and the vocals are top notch.

Sweden’s Two Piece Puzzle follow up their highly respected batch of demos from last year with this brand new excellently produced six track CD-R demo.This band are far from stupid, they are classy and play slick aor pop a’la Robin BeckBerlinDante Fox and Alyson Avenue.

Two Piece Puzzle is a five piece band featuring the sexy Anna Savhed – vocals, Rickard Johansson – bass, Jesper Rosdahl – keys, Jesper Ohlsson – guitars and last but not least Jonny Persson on drums.

The band have matured in the song writing department, now the songs have more finesse and character about them. My favourite songs are Moments (calmer Dante Fox), and Love ain’t enough. Now Love ain’t enough simply slays me every time I hear it. Anna’s voice is immaculate, you’re immediately drawn towards her amazing and very sexy voice. This song deserves to be a hit.

A lot of thought and effort has been put into Two Piece Puzzle’s music, and it amazes me that they still remain unsigned. Why, for God’s sake? Some buttons need to be pushed here I think, as the labels are missing out on a band that have loads of crossover appeal.

Here we have a very talented band, so please do yourselves a favour and check them out, you won’t be disappointed. One of my fave bands so far this year. Recommended.

The Swedish female fronted AOR band TWO PIECE PUZZLE returns with their 4th CD release and after hearing it, I can conclude that this is the band’s best release. It is also their most AOR based, because the 6 songs on Stupid! are all high-class female fronted AOR tunes with both influences from the 80s and 90s. TWO PIECE PUZZLE is musically comparable to acts like TONE NORUM (her first two records), BLONDE ON BLONDE and 80s HEART.Opener and titletrack Stupid shows that this band needs to reach a larger audience, because it is really a killer AOR song which is also very suitable to play on the radiostations across Europe. Stupid is a fantastic classic 80s uptempo female fronted AOR rocker a la the first two albums of TONE NORUM. The song has a super melodic sound and features some wonderful
keyboards (by Jesper Rosdahl). This is definitely the strongest song of the band so far. Actually it is much better than their previous releases, because the 3 earlier CDs showed a more melodic poprock which sounded good. But this song really is pure AOR and almost blows away the earlier recordings. Combined with a strong self-production, the band is on the right track.
Next track Moments leans towards 90s pop/rock, but still has a wonderful AOR chorus. This semi-ballad is radio-ready if you ask me and with some good backing promotion it could easily turn out to a huge hit. Following track Never enough is a great uptempo (80s typed) AOR/Melodic Poprocker with some lovely harmony vocals. Live till I die follows and is a nice semi melodic rockballad. TOTO influences can be heard in the midtempo AOR tune Still not over you. Closing track is the lovely semi AOR ballad Love ain’t enough.

Without any doubts, this is the best effort of TWO PIECE PUZZLE. Together with the other Swedish band ALYSON AVENUE, TWO PIECE PUZZLE is right on top of the Female Fronted AOR scene.
