Riddarna - Jag kan glömma allt

I recently have been heavily influenced by Swedish stoner/rock music, something that hardly anyone missed who reads this eminent blog. Sometimes I feel like an octopus which throws out its tentacles and tries to capture something fun that you can listen to and analyze. Todays band is something that I fished out of Christoffer Röstlund Jonsson's Blog. A trio known as the Riddarna (The Knights) are from Gotland/Gothenburg in Sweden, and they are best described like Dungen's obnoxious country cousins born and breed on stoner-rock. they play a nice packed of rattling rock, hard pop, loudmouthed rock'n'roll in Swedish. Nice mix indeed, a bit of a suprise as here in Sweden, it has been not that much innovative harder music in Swedish.

The guys have their debut album in the pipleine for release on the 6th of april. I think ”Riddarna" have the opportunity to reach out to the widener pop/rock mass out there.

Riddarna are: Erik Dahlström, Edward Forslund and Patrik Jakubowski.

See what the press says about them.

“Ruthless real rock without washed-out sweat smelling Iron Maiden-shirts.”
- Cabinstreet.se

“The translation of “rock n’ roll” in Swedish? “Riddarna”! I bet their debut will be one of the best Swedish record in 2011.”
- Absolute Noise

“…the debut lands somewhere between wacky 60s psychedelia rock and 90s alternative.”
- Swede+Sour

Todays tune ”Jag kan glömma allt” is taken from their debut EP "Släpp allt - Glöm allt!" (roughly translated: Drop everything - Forget everything!) is a display of raw and dirty rock'n'roll in a party mood.
