Fallen Trees - It's A Trap

Fallen Trees is a folk rock band from Malmö, Sweden. The band was formed around 10 years ago by Emanuel and David, but not in a serious way, but when they later realized that several thousand people who had listened to their music online felt the same way it was no longer an option to not start up the band for real. Kalle, Emanuels comrade from uni, joined and together they set out to hit every venue, big and small.

After 10 years of pregnancy Fallen Trees was finally born. Now they are stronger and more hard-working than ever. Rather than doing like the rest of the so-called "folk rock scene", playing folk on rock instruments, this is rock on folk instruments, a perfect balance between the organic and the electric.

Fallen Trees just signed a licensing deal with Gothenburg-based Flagstone. Flagstone also works with The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, The Hives and Mando Diao to name a few.

Todays tune ”It’s A Trap” taken from their debut EP, released 2010

Nutmeg - Space

Nutmeg is a band from Sweden. They was formed 2000 in Örnsköldsvik. In 2006 Johan Bergqvist joined the roster on guitar. The band has toured throughout Sweden over the years, including prestigious gigs at Emmaboda Festival, the Rookie Festival in Hultsfred and Trästocksfestivalen.
Their debut album "The Trigger" was released in 2009 on the indie label Iconic Noise, and was rewarded 5/5 in Sweden's largest music magazine "Groove", which earned it a placed in the "Top 10 albums released 2009”. The second album is under production and will be released later this year.

Nutmeg is out on a mini tour with Hong Faux (A band that has recently been on Tune Of The Day). On Wednesday (earlier this week), they visited the Lilla Hotellbaren, Scandic Malmen here in Stockholm, first out was the Stockholm band Hong Faux who did a really awesome gig, was in my mind a bit tighter than last time, the band did pretty much everything on stage and went into the role of rock stars and offered a plate of fantastic rock with a wonderful groove. Waiting for full length album with excitement.

Nutmeg got on half hour after Hong Faux, Nutmeg, this is a band that is a new acquaintance of mine, so I stood there and waited for them to get up. Johan Bergqvist is bassist in Hong Faux had made a quick change of clothes to take on the guitar for Nutmeg.

The band kicked off with an interesting mix of rock, pop and hardcore, I must say that it was actually really good, nice groove and the live vocalist Henke gave everything and reminded at times of Iggy Pop on stage.

Here are some pictures from the evening, starting out a bit with Hong Faux and then Nutmeg.

Todays tune "Space” is the first single from NUTMEG's second album Basement Riot.

Märvel - A Pyrrhic Victory

Swedish Märvel (pronounced like the English Marvel) from Linkoping, was the second band during the release party that Killer Cobra Records held at Debaser on Tuesday, where Tramp was the other band of Tune Of The Day yesterdays post. For Märvel this was the release of their third album, "Warhawk Of War". Like some other bands, like Kizz, Dark Funeral, Watain, Ghost, and others, appears Märvel masked and using fictitious artist's name. The band consists of, The King, The Vicar, Speedo, The Aviator and The Burgh.

At Debaser Märvel rocked on really well, a bit cheek tongue rock when you see them with masks on. The DJ booth offered Nick Anderson and Robert Dahlqvist of musical wonders. Papa Bear was standing in merchstand and flog the new records and t-shirts.

Märvel plays a straight, honest rock with clear influences from both the Hellacopters and Turbonegro. Hellacopters-sound may be a little fertilizer on the songs "A Hobby That Got Out Of Hand" where Dregen is the guest player and TNH spiced up with Robert "string" Dahlquist.

The band was formed in 2002 when John Steen (The King), Ulrik Bostedt ( Speedo) and Tony Samuelsson (The Vicar) spent a high school exchange year in Colorado, USA. The first vinyl ep "Marvellous" was released through the small NY based label "New York Powerhitters" and the band got airtime on several college radio stations before they left USA and returned to Sweden with lousy grades, but high spirits. Two other vinyl eps (Heroine Tracks, Bedlam at the embassy)were released the following years through Swedish indie labels.

Since the bassist Ulrik Bostedt (Speedo) isn’t allowed to cross the Swedish borders another character, The Aviator, has taken his place on tour abroad and recently Märvel has reached 3rd bass with their latest member, the Burgher. Märvel don´t believe in replacing members, they add members. So for those who are counting, Märvel is a power trio with five members.

In 2009 Märvel released a single sided one track vinyl 7" titled "A Pyrrhic Victory". The singel was followed by a tour that was filmed and later released as a 20 minute road movie.

In 2011, the swedish barons of high energy rock and roll are back with their third album - Warhawks of War! Twelve brand new tracks from the King, the Vicar and Speedo. Warhawks of War is filled with gigantic guitars, bombastic bass, dynamite drums and vaporizing vocals and features guests stars Strings (Dundertåget, Hellacopters) and Dregen (Backyard Babies).

MÄRVEL - Nur für starke Nerven!

The Single is also released on Vinyl!

Here is some pictures from the gig.

A horse and an elephant. That felt like the obvious choice for the video for Märvel's latest single "A Pyrrhic Victory"

No horses or elephants were harmed during the shoot.
