Nale – new Swedish music
Say hi to Nale, a fresch bit of air. This is a relative new (for me at least) Stockholm-based band that in my opinion mixes a bit of Motörhead with Danko Jones. And maybe a touch of rockabilly. It’s hard, it’s melodic and it’s impossible Read More …

Review: Knogjärn – Marscherar & Förstör
It’s been a long cold winter for me right now! Most metal-shit coming out right now, well it doesnt get me in the right place. For the moment there are very few “high-five-moments”. Most metal isn’t for me (maybe I’m getting old…) But thankfully the Read More …
