Time Tripper + Heart Line

Time Tripper was born from the vision of Franco-Swedish singer Erik S. Björngard, who opens a new chapter of his musical journey in 2024. After around ten solo albums and an international career as a composer for several musicals, Erik chooses to return to his first loves: melodic rock and the AOR of the 1980s.

Recognised as an artist with a folk/rock universe, he has notably received two CMA Awards, in the categories Best Male Performer and Best Album. With Time Tripper, he has imagined a project firmly geared towards big choruses, strong melodies and the energy of stadium rock.

To bring this new adventure to life, Erik surrounds himself with four experienced, close musicians: Tom Fremont on guitar, Amedee Flament on keyboards, Alain Bastard on bass and Jimmy Montout on drums.

The group draws its inspiration from the great references of the genre (Europe, Honeymoon Suite, Bon Jovi) while developing an identity of its own. Guitars and keyboards answer each other, the rhythms are powerful and the choruses are designed to stay in your head straight away. HEART LINE is a French group that passionately revives the spirit of melodic hard rock, blending rock energy, emotion and beautiful melodies.

Formed by guitarist and producer Yvan Guillevic in 2020, Heart Line brings together experienced musicians from the French rock and metal scene: Emmanuel Creis on vocals, Jorris Guilbaud on keyboards, Dominique Braud on bass and Walter Français on drums.

For several years the group has developed a universe deeply rooted in the great references of AOR and melodic hard rock.

Anthemic choruses, vocal harmonies, virtuoso guitar, a solid rhythm section and stage energy form the DNA of Heart Line.

With three studio albums and an EP in barely five years, the group has quickly forged a strong identity, praised by melodic rock fans in France and abroad.
