RIDDARNA
Riddarna is a trio from Gotland, living
in Gothenburg.
The music is based on the 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." In other words, the music follows no rules
and go on instinct. "In essence, rock music at it's best -
wild, unruly, without the slightest intention to back down."(The
Magazine Kulturen)
"Those guys manage to sound heavy AND melodic, powerful and
fun." (Absolut Noise).
Riddarna are: Erik Dahlström,
Patrik Jakubowski and Edward Forslund.
