Bio:
Stiletto is a new melodic rock act emerging from Stockholm, Sweden, bringing together experienced musicians with a shared passion for powerful songwriting, strong melodies, and music that leaves a lasting impression.The band was formed by guitarist and songwriter Andi Sarandopoulos, known from Strykenine, after connecting with vocalist Noelle Barton. The chemistry between the two was immediate, and it quickly became clear that the collaboration had the potential to grow into something much bigger. With a clear musical vision and a strong creative drive, the foundation for Stiletto was set.From the very beginning, drummer Henrik Remesaho (known from the band Strykenine) became an essential part of the project, helping shape the band’s dynamic sound. The lineup was soon completed by keyboardist Alex Zackrisson and bassist Tony Bakircioglu both also recognized from Strykenine - creating a band built on chemistry, musicianship, and years of experience.Drawing inspiration from the golden era of melodic rock while adding their own modern edge, Stiletto aims to deliver songs that combine memorable hooks, emotional depth, and high-energy performances.Their focus is not only on strong melodies and polished production, but also on writing songs with meaning — music that resonates both musically and lyrically.
Album:
Awesome Melodic Hard Rock / AOR we heard in many years; Swedes STILETTO, and their gloriously named debut “You Know… Like the Shoe. Or the Knife… We Don’t Know Yet“.The band is formed by members of other amazing Swedish band – STRYKENINE – who graced us with their fantastic debut album back in 2021. Now they enlisted terrific female vocalist Noelle Barton and simply put, created a pure ’80s / ’90s inspired Melodic Rock / AOR collection of songs – one better than the other, all killers / no fillers.Yep, “You Know… Like the Shoe. Or the Knife… We Don’t Know Yet” is a 6-track debut EP, and we prefer 6 great tracks and not a 10-tracker with fillers.Believe us: STILETTO are to die for. If you don’t like this genre you better think twice; this is not bland Melodic Rock or overproduced stuff – the guitars bite, the keyboards sound like a pocket knife, the solos are huge, and Noelle’s voice is powerful plenty od colors. STILETTO’s music somehow brings to mind Kee Marcello’s heavier songs, or H.E.A.T on steroids.That’s why 0dayrox is your #1 Rock source: when others copy&paste themselves offering the same, we spotlight new bands / albums screaming for promotion – and STILETTO deserves its name blazing across a luminous marquee.The band had this to say about the EP: “So, I guess we should address the elephant in the room the EP title. The short answer? We just thought it was funny. It was keyboardist Alex Zackrisson who threw the name out during rehearsal after we’d been going back and forth with a bunch of overly serious titles. Everyone cracked up immediately, and the more we talked about it, the more it felt right. There’s always been that tongue-in-cheek side to Melodic Rock and AOR that we love bands like Danger Danger with records like Screw It! that didn’t take themselves too seriously while still delivering huge hooks and killer songs. That spirit definitely inspired us here. Hopefully it gives people a laugh before they even press play, haha.As for the music itself, we’re incredibly proud of this EP and can’t wait to bring these songs to the live stage. It’s a 6-track release that we’re putting out independently, and Tony (Bakircioglu, also bass player) has absolutely knocked it out of the park with the production. It sounds exactly the way we wanted — big choruses, huge guitars, soaring melodies, and that fun, energetic vibe we grew up loving about this style of music.”STILETTO was formed by guitarist and songwriter Andi Sarandopoulos, known from the band Strykenine, after connecting with vocalist Noelle Barton.

Their focus is not only on strong melodies and polished production, but also on writing songs with meaning — music that resonates both musically and lyrically.Coming from Sweden, a country long renowned for producing world-class rock and melodic music, the band is fully aware of the legacy they step into. Rather than simply following tradition, STILETTO embraces the challenge. They know the standard is high and they have no intention of lowering it.With ambition, craftsmanship, and a determination to stand out, STILETTO is set to make their mark on the melodic rock scene.The band is releasing “You Know… Like the Shoe. Or the Knife… We Don’t Know Yet” on CD grab your copy straight from their website. We believe it’s a smart investment, as this EP is destined to become a classic.
