Royal Republic - Full Steam Spacemachine

On the 2nd April the radio station here in Stockholm have their annual
Bandit Rock Award Show, many good band will be there, sutch as:
Danko Jones, Sick Puppies,Royal Republic, Bullet, Plan Three and Pain.

Ill pick one of them today.



Royal Republic from Malmö, Sweden are loud and funky.
Its a Swedish rock band formed in Malmö, Sweden in late 2007. The band consists of guitarist/lead singer Adam Grahn, guitarist Hannes Irengård, bass guitarist Jonas Almén and drummer Per Andreasson.



Royal Republic are redefining Sweden’s rock boundaries with their massive songs, matched in size only by their mouths and their sense of humor, as the album title “We Are The Royal” implies. Grahn laughs, explaining, “This song came along at some point in the middle of the songwriting sessions.
Our drummer Per and I were pretty much holed up in my fucked up little studio apartment for a good month beating our brains out trying to come up with great songs. We were practically delirious, so we decided to write a straight-up fun song for a change. Somehow we came up with the slogan ‘We are the royal’ and we thought it was really cool; so cool in fact that we decided to make it the album title…”




One listen to the black humor of songs like “Tommy Gun” or “Underwear” and it’s obvious that Royal Republic don’t take themselves all too seriously.
“Of course we don’t take ourselves too seriously. With songs like ‘Underwear’ or ‘Good To Be Bad’, we really hope that people get our sense of irony and don’t think of us as hard-ass prima donnas! We’re not rock stars (yet), but we love to use these typical rock star clichés in a tongue-in-cheek way. And we love making music.”



Enjoy.

Peace, Thetania

Hong Faux - Present Tense-Less

Hong Faux from Stockholm opened up the Graveyard the other day hehe, I mean they were the support act. A band that I actually looked forward to see live. Quarter to nine they walked on stage to a cool intro before it was time to kick off with the song "Blade" from their latest EP. The band played a six song set, three tracks that were new to me which was really fun to hear, and yes they were actually really good. A small note: Most of the crowd were there to see Graveyard and had probably never heard Hong Faux before. I could hear in both emotion and twittering that they actually liked the opening act. We did that in any case me, my colleague and Thetania (she was working, though).

It was a nice groove in the songs, well played and performed by the band, the vocals was great live and the sound was actually quite okay, If I should find something to complain about, then it was the light that was very weak.

They will do a show at 6/4 - Lilla hotellbaren, Stockholm, if i’m free that evening, then i will go.

Here is some pictures from the show, enjoy!

Todays tune is Present Tense-Less from the new EP, enjoy!

Graveyard - Hisingen Blues

The fact that a band can play so much as they did in the 70’s as Graveyard makes me very fascinated. Its like they never grew up and still lives today as they did back then.

This was the third time I had the opportunity to see them live, first time was when they were opening for Black Mountain at the Kägelbanan and the second time was when they opened up for Clutch at Klubben. Now again on Kägelbanan as the main act and the new smoking hot album number two in the luggage that was released the day before. Opening act this evening was Hong Faux this i will talk about tomorrow. Anyway, the evening got sold out, people even got rejected in the door, witch shows that the Graveyard Hype is for real. I notice that many journalists, rockstars, filmstars etc had found their path to come and see some old school rock. In the crowd were Titiyo, Witchcraft, Backdraft and i heard rumors that the brothers Herrey and both Rapace was there.

Graveyard just took over Kägelbanan totally, with their dirty 70´s rock. Oh boy, it rocked!!!! The music was like a groovy jam session that could continue forever.

Here is some pictures I manage to take yesterday, view the setlist, the 70’s way to do it (written on a napkin)!
