I first discovered Elias Åkesson and his Wizzkids last summer when their video for excellent Paul “Graceland” Simon happy-pop track ‘Mr. Right Guy’ hit the www. Carving a big smile on my face it signaled a change in sound and expression from the alt-country tinged (so I’ve read) debut ‘A ... 
It’s been three years since recorded material has escaped the Plök cave, but now - following three EP’s - the Danish math-rock quartet have released their debut full length ‘Sing Us Yr Guillotine Gospel’ on their own, aptly named label The Binary Icosahedral Group (don’t ask - it’s a mathematical ... 
Swedish quintet The Sonnets really embrace the eighties both musically and in their personal style. Having released their debut album ‘Western Harbour Blue’ - the title a nod to their hometown Malmö and Dennis Wilson’s solo album ‘Pacific Ocean Blue’ - in Japan in July, they’re now ready to take ... 
On MySpace Malrun mention a lot of cool bands as their inspirations – and then Staind and Creed. While Staind may have their moments, I think everybody with a reasonable taste in music can agree that Creed sucks. So if you are sceptical before listening to the Danish quintet’s debut ... 
They released their debut, ‘Chapters’, in late 2007, and now, three years on, Finnish quintet Captain Cougar have their sophomore effort out and about. ‘Of Dreams Long Gone’ is a concept album, telling the tale of an unnamed couple from early 1900s Finland from they meet, marry, propagate, are separated ... 
It took Alcoholic Faith Mission three years to finish and release their grand sophomore effort ‘421 Wythe Avenue’ (2009), which earned them solid critical acclaim and label deals in Japan and USA, but less than a year to release this followup, their third album. Which really is quite impressive in ... 
It’s been three years under way (and another seven months before hitting this corner of the www), the debut album by Norwegian psych-rock outfit Izakaya Heartbeat. I first came across them - initially a solo project by singer, guitarist and songwriter Christian Larsen which slowly turned into an six headed ... 
It’s been three years since Familjen aka Johan T. Karlsson stormed charts, venues and festivals with especially the title track off his debut album ‘Det Snurrar I Min Skalle’. Here’s the followup, titled ‘Mänskligheten’ (which translates to “the humanity”), and it is a solid second effort still showcasing the Swede’s ... 
This year Swedish electropop diva Robyn plans on putting out three albums that will feature works with Snoop Dogg, Diplo and Röyksopp. The last two have contributed to this first, titled ‘Body Talk Pt. 1’, on which she also continues the collaboration with producer and songwriter Klas Åhlund from her ... 
When bands proclaim that they want to “look inward” and “think about who they really are” their albums tend to be dark and depressing. Danish dark-men Kellermensch are opposite. According to frontman Sebastian Wolff, their new EP ‘Narcissus’ is a chance to wrestle with the band’s demons, but since their ... 
Hailing from Stockholm the collective of artists and musicians hiding behind the moniker Originalljudet released this self titled debut in Sweden in March. Their name (and hence the album title) translates to “original sound” or “odd sound”, which are both safe to apply to the album’s nine, mostly downbeat instrumentals ... 
Pretty much since ALL SCANDINAVIAN launched back in 2008, Norwegian outfit Casiokids have been among our favorites, charming and exciting us (don’t worry, not in a weird way) with their brilliant, afrobeat flavored poptronica. In the time we have known them they have released a string of singles, remixes and ... 
Pretty Maids is Danish music’s equivalent to Clint Eastwood. They have been around forever, they will never go away and they are still damn cool. The veteran metallers release their thirteenth album today, which in itself is quite an accomplishment, but what is even more impressing is that the not-quite-young ... Browse
