Chemical Vocation is a pop punk band, inspired by post-hardcore. The band members are from all over the west coast of Sweden. They met in highschool in Uddevalla and in 2005 they signed to an indie label called The Emo Foundation. In the Summer of 2005 their self-titled debut EP was released, leading with the catchy and memorable track ‘Unspection’.
Their full length album called ‘A Misfit In Progress’ will be released on September 24th 2008 through the the indie label Panic & Action.

Pierre Larsson - Vocals

Jocke Jensen - Vocals & guitars
Kristoffer Lundström - Vocals & guitars
Johan Caullvine - Bass
Robin Jansson - Drums

Chemical Vocation had almost given up. The band, one of Sweden´s busiest underground live acts, had released an LP on the tiny label The Emo Foundation, toured themselves blue in the face, and done everything an eager, hungry band should. The band enjoyed some success, and garnered a small legion of dedicated devotees which clung fiercely to the band. Then came….well, not so much, really.

A band needs to grow, to evolve, and needs to feel that they are still striving towards new, alluring heights. To go ever forwards. But for Chemical Vocation, things started to feel as they had reached the apex of what they could achieve, without catching a glimpse of the next level. Add to this the intra-band arguments which inevitably occur when five friends spend an insane amount of time packed in the confines of a small van, and you get the picture. The inspiration and eagerness blew out the exhaust pipe while the tour van made its way home after years of touring up and down the Scandinavian map.
