Antennas
Antennas is a pop/rock band with a quite own brand of quality songwriting,
dabbling in pop, rock, americana and 70´s balladry but they're
not a retro band and have created a up to date and very own sound
of their influences. The lyrics often tend to deal with the frustration
of everyday boredom. In other words; classic escapism. |

Black
Belt
Black Belt have choosen their name perfectly - they have indeed
a black belt in rock. Being a hard hitting power trio they are playing
heavy rock with traces of the early seventies. We're talking dirty,
heavy and groovy rock of best quality. They are an excellent live
band and love being on stage playing live. Hopefully you will be
able to see them soon on a stage near you. |

Existensminimum
We have seen Existensminimum (Magnus Henriksson) as a spectacular
drummer and percussionist with many bands. But he also does his
own music and produces other bands. In his own name Existensminimum
makes sparkling dayglo electronic pop, usually combine the darkest
pop with the lightest melodies. The songs are often packaged in
warm keyboard blankets and hard rhythms. |

Hyper
Plastic
Rickard Johansson used to play the guitar and write songs for Indie-Rock
band "This Perfect Day" in the nineties. Now working as
a surgeon. Hyper Plastic is his band and he is the only member,
for good and for worse. But he still like to think of it as a band.

Norma
Norma is a three-piece orchestra, playing atmospheric pop influenced
by krautrock with filmic elements. Norma is the product of three
talented young men's will to revolutionize the way music is performed
and experienced, both live and recorded. The limitations of only
having three members is seen as a great opportunity too seek new
and different ways in the making of songs and liveshows. The music
is best enjoyed as a companion on the 21st century roadtrip. Norma
is a great experience on record and even greater live where they
work with visual artists.

Paper
Paper is a kraut-punk trio featuring Calle Olsson from The Bear
Quartet and Paddington DC along with members of Audionom. The sound
is based around the frustration of punk, the desperation of monotony
and the delicacy of pop melody. PAPER deliver on one side two-minutes
hardcore manouvers followed by long monotonous, almost transcendental,
three-chords variations. Throw in well arranged melodies and pretty
traditional pop songs like nitrate in the hard cold cocktail and
you get the big picture. Punk-kraut is a pretty accurate description
of their music. |

Pascal
"The music has a garage band roughness, nice and loose. There
are touches of psychobilly and touches of Britpop, scraps of Elvis,
early rock, punk, metal, the Ramones, storming guitars, a variety
of things. Galgberget is nothing revolutionary, but it’s full
of heart and commitment. When Isak Sundström screams, it’s
not a stage-managed stadium cockrock scream, it’s a good,
full yell of pleasure. Isn’t it glorious, the musicians seem
to be asking, to make this much noise, to be alive like this?"

Riddarna
Riddarna is a trio from Gotland, living in Gothenburg. The music
is based on despair and frustration and is in a pretty unique genre.
To quote Göteborgs-Posten: "Stoner. Pop. Rattling. Punk.
Hard Rock. Psychedelia. Garage. Riddarna pushed all of this screaming
into a blender. Drove around, poured it out on the altar of rock
altar and read the intestines. The conclusion was "Rock'n'Roll
is dead", so Riddarna turned the knobs to eleven and decided
to resurrect it. Here it is: shaking, lurching and screaming in
Swedish. And my god it swings! Rock music is dead! Long live Riddarna!
If you are not a music puritan you are probably already dancing.". |

S
K R I E T
It all started with a large floor tom a guitar and a synthesizer.
Isak Sundström and Jacob Frössén spent hours playing
instrumental synth-boogie in an old attic. Isak started writing
lyrics to some of the songs and S K R I E T (The Scream) was born.
