Degreed Roar Back with Anthemic New Single “Get Up!!
Swedish melodic rockers Degreed are back again with their high-octane new single, “Get Up!!”, alongside a punchy visualizer video. Released today via Frontiers Music Srl, the track is a rousing anthem about resilience, defiance, and never backing down. This is their second standalone single this year after the “Love Your Enemy” that came out in October this year.
Vocalist Robin Eriksson gets candid about the song’s raw emotional core: “Sometimes life hits you so hard that you can barely stand up. Blow after blow, and it never seems to end. But you get up. You have to get up.” He continues, “This song is about all that, and about not giving up. But it also has a more serious undertone of bearing the weight of all the demands of today’s society. Ultimately, this song is about NEVER giving up! Get up and try again!”
“Get Up!!” encapsulates everything Degreed fans have come to love—melodic hooks, anthemic choruses, and a fiery energy that bridges the gap between classic hard rock grit and modern melodic rock polish.
Since their debut album Life, Love, Loss in 2010, Degreed has been a band on a mission, consistently evolving their sound while maintaining their core identity. With each release, the group has upped the stakes, pushing their creative boundaries and building a devoted global fanbase.
Even the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic couldn’t dim their fire. When touring was off the table, Degreed delivered “The World We Knew,” an electrifying track that captured the spirit of 2020’s chaos and resilience. The song struck a chord, even earning “Track of the Week” honors from Classic Rock Magazine.
The band followed that up with Are You Ready in 2022, an album that marked another milestone in their relentless pursuit of musical greatness. And just this year, they’ve outdone themselves again with Public Address, their July 2023 release. The record has been hailed as a career-defining moment, with critics and fans alike praising its masterful blend of towering melodies, blistering guitar work, and emotionally charged lyrics.
