Debut Album, Phoenix, Out This Friday, January 26, 2024!
THE GEMS on “Fruits Of My Labor”:
“This song is about overcoming and appreciating the struggles on the way to making your dreams come true. ♥”
THE GEMS on Phoenix:
“Phoenix marks the beginning, the rise of THE GEMS. This album takes you on a journey through one of our toughest times. Through this creative process we were able to really dig deep and let go of a lot of emotional baggage, and find true happiness in music again. The new found freedom our band has been given us shines through on this album. We couldn't be prouder of what we've accomplished, and the true Rock n Roll Sisterhood and community we've built through these few months of our existence. Phoenix is the perfect album for anyone going through a tough time, having the rug pulled out under you and somehow finding the strength to rebuild. You'll get the full range of emotions, masterfully produced by our dear friend Johan Randén, who we also wrote some of the songs with.
We hope people will love Phoenix and really enjoy the epic ride this album will take you on.”

THE GEMS on “Hot Bait”:
“Hot Bait is a playful shuffle track in a ZZ Top-oozing vibe about our days as single ladies. It's the excitement of when you finally get what you want, told from a foodie’s perspective. Cause food is always better than sex :P”
Swedish hard rock sensation THE GEMS announce their highly anticipated second album, Year Of The Snake, out March 13, 2026 via Napalm Records! To mark the occasion, the trio has revealed a new single, “Hot Bait”: a hard-driving old-school blues rock banger. Risen from the ashes of Thundermother, the trio has had an exceptional ride since their formation in 2023. THE GEMS keep gaining momentum, already performing on Europe’s biggest festival stages and rising to the top of the rock airplay charts.
THE GEMS on Year Of The Snake:
“Year Of The Snake is about facing previous hardships in your life, letting go and moving forward to a brighter chapter. It's packed with strong and empowering themes, just like a snake shedding its skin and now standing strong in its own power!
Year Of The Snake is a homage to our fans at our live shows. We wrote the songs envisioning an excited festival crowd; from our loyal diamonds in the front row, knowing all lyrics by heart - to the crazy headbangers in the back. The album is packed with Van Halen and Europe-inspired hard-hitting grooves and riffs that will take you back to the 80s. Yet, the production is modern and fresh. In an increasingly artificial world, we want to stay true to our roots - solid musicianship and songwriting from the heart. Our aim is to always create a great sounding album with the live show in mind.
The future is live and heavy glam rock is here to stay!”
