Gamla Pengar: Skulle Hellre Dö Än Att Vara Er

Thomas Brunstrøm — Wed, 16 May 2012 09:51:31 +0000

Gamla Pengar (“Old money”) is a cool swedish punk band who released their debut EP last year. I’m quite taken by their shouty shenanigans so it is my luck that the Gothenburg quartet is a productive one. Their third EP ‘Vackra Land Som Ingenting Gav’ is out now. It is lean, it is mean, it [...]

Back in 2010 Norwegian noiserockers Mindy Misty released their third and lauded album ‘Generic Communion’ and about a week ago this Øystein Monsen and Thomas Eggum directed video for the brilliant ‘Black Mass’ off said album hit the www, showing us that running in snow to noisy, alternative rock is in fact not a bad [...]

The Swedish garagerockers The Hives will release their fifth studio album ‘Lex Hives’ in June. Here’s the first taste of the album, the cheerful Kaizers Orchestra-ish ‘Go Right Ahead’. The video reveals that the band once again will don their trademark black and white outfits – this time tuxedos and tophats – and that they [...]

We’re halfway through May and it’s time for another edition of the World’s Greatest Mixtape (in our humble opinion), bringing you 34 free songs from 34 countries around the planet courtesy of the Music Alliance Pact. As we’re not really big believers in change, we’ve changed absolutely nothing and you can again download each song [...]

11th Street Kids: Well, What Did You Expect?

Thomas Brunstrøm — Fri, 11 May 2012 07:50:47 +0000

Anyone who name themselves after a Hanoi Rocks song has already earned themselves a few points in my book. But 11th Street Kids are more than just a name. I didn’t really expect anything from their debut ‘Well, What Did You Expect?’ (I do appreciate the concern, though), but somehow I managed to be pleasantly [...]

Following up on their debut album ‘There Is A Solitude Of Space’ Norwegian electropop trio AMISH 82 aka Jørgen Meyer, Bjørn Boassen and Snorre Valen will release their second and according to them slightly darker album ‘So We Must Meet Apart’ May 27. Here is the great first single ‘Even Stardom’ featuring Anana aka Anniken [...]

Peter Krogholm — Wed, 09 May 2012 08:25:28 +0000

May 23 Swedish one-woman band Skatan aka Simone Andersson Wingfors will release her second full length with first and free single ‘Control’ a rather promising preview. The alternative popstress were part of the Music Alliance Pact back in August 2010 with ‘Territory’ off her debut ‘We Are All Children With Different Titles’, which is still [...]

Peter Krogholm — Mon, 07 May 2012 10:18:00 +0000

Back in January I shared the great video for Icelandic/Danish electronica ‘n rock trio Kúra’s track ‘Anchor’, available as free download below and found on their debut album ‘Halfway To The Moon’ which was released last Monday, and today I have the equally great video for album track ‘Joe’, directed by Karim Ghawagi, for you. [...]

Zebra And Snake: Money In Heaven

Peter Krogholm — Mon, 07 May 2012 10:10:11 +0000

I said here that Finnish electropop duo Zebra And Snake would release their full length debut ‘Healing Music’ in April, but that turned out to be a downright lie as now it’s said that the release will be May 14, with single ‘Money In Heaven’ paving the way from May 7 and onwards. The latter [...]
