2014 - Killing the album format
In 2014 The Blue Van began a new journey. It was time to let go of the classic album format as we know it. Time has changed and The Blue Van is these days only releasing singles and videos.

"It's all about thinking in new directions and doing things differently - because the world is different now", says lead singer and guitarist Steffen Westmark. "At the same time, our approach to releasing music is very much old school; The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and all the others did just the same in the old days".

This also means that you may expect a veritable flood of videos from The Blue Van in the near future.
