Ondskyld (a wordplay meaning both “I’m sorry” and “evil guilt”) is a colourful seven-piece from Copenhagen. Their music lies somewhere between DIY-punk and grandiose heartfelt pop-rock balladry in Danish.
From their punk roots you’ll find a deep love for community, high energy and doing things wrong. With intense, ornamented, poetic, hyper direct, soul- and sorrowful songs Ondskyld excuses for their insufficiency, though there’s nothing to be sorry about.
They blend life’s biggest emotions and boring detail from everyday life into a chunky smoothie of absurdity, humor and optimism. The band made their entrance on to the scene with a hand-full of heartbroken rock bangers, live-tracked on cassette tape, with their EP ’Hjertesorg Sommerrock 2024’ (Heartache Summer Rock 2024), displaying poetic snapshots from a shitty and lonely-ass summer. They’ve made a name for themselves with explosive live shows, a fair amount of airplay of the singles ’Kundeservice’ and ’Føle Ssomom’ and two full-length interviews in DEBUT on Danish radio station P6 BEAT.
Ondskyld are releasing their debut album ’Fuld Affekt’ in autumn 2025.
