Raising the Roof
Raising the Roof marks the powerful new chapter for Peter Carlsohn’s The Rise — a melodic hard-rock album filled with energy, conviction, and signature Scandinavian craftsmanship. Anchored by Peter Carlsohn’s unmistakable bass playing and emotive lead vocals, the record blends classic rock roots with a modern edge, delivering big hooks, gritty riffs, and vintage Hammond organ.
The album was mixed by Tobias Lindell and mastered by Thomas “Plec” Johansson, giving it both punch and clarity.
Raising the Roof is released, April 24th, 2026, via JONO Music and Sound Pollution Distribution on LP and CD, as well as on all major digital platforms.
Rocking All Over The World
As the bass-player for Jerusalem, XT and Rune Edvardsen & Red Band, Peter has toured all over the world for decades, and will continue this mission.
With a passion for both music and people, he looks forward to also be touring with Peter Carlsohn’s The Rise.
