The project

Bolaget is a band from Falun, Sweden, formed in 2019. The job was a website of their own where everything about the band is in one place.

Three things came before everything else: that the site loads fast, that the content is easy to find, and that it is easy to use.

Releases come from Spotify

The band should not have to enter its music in two places. When something new is released on Spotify, a service of our own fetches it and shows it on the site.

01
Spotify
The band releases a single or an album.
02
Our own service
A service written in Rust fetches the band's releases from Spotify.
03
The music page
The releases are shown on the site with their covers, and the latest one is put forward on the start page.

What we built

The website: Start, the band, music, tour, shop, contact and press kit. We did both design and development, and built the site in Next.js for short loading times.
Spotify integration: A service of our own, written in Rust, fetches the band's releases from Spotify to the site.
Tour and video: Upcoming shows with date and venue, and the band's latest YouTube videos right on the start page.
