Noice was a band that I discovered in 1980, when I was 9 years old! But they really made a huge impact on me, and I think that I’m still a musical product from that band! At that time in Sweden, there was kind of Read More …

Strange Peps Music – Part 4 – Straight Up
The feature “Strange Swedish Music” is a way for Peps to make people understand why Peps is Peps… There was once a band that got the idea that would play “fuck n’roll“… They were called “Straight up“. They lived for one album. It was called Read More …
Recension: Tüstnad – Du i Vi
Här kommer äntligen en ny singel från våra Gotlands-favoriter! “Du i vi” heter den, och vad tycker vi om den? Tja… jag är långt ifrån besviken! Det känns som att det varit en lång väntan, men nu kommer det äntligen lite svensk kultur i ny Read More …
Strange Peps Music – Part 3 – Clawfinger
Clawfinger A band I discovered the summer of 1993. A summer that turned out to be the last summer in my first home after I moved out from my parents’ home. A summer where I put the speakers (and they were BIG!) in my window, Read More …
Album review: Sparzanza – Announcing The End
A new album with Sparzanza is always worth the wait! A band that, when they play at their best, is in my ears one of the absolute best metal bands in Sweden! With this album, they kind of startled us with the title “Announcing The Read More …

Strange Peps Music – Part 1 – Sator
Well, this is maybe not that strange, but maybe an easy way into my journey… I think that we’ll start in the late 80s, with Sator from Borlänge, a middle-sized town in the lower part of middle Sweden. In my opinion, there’s never been a Read More …
Weird Swedish Music: Intro – The start of a journey!
I’m about to start a story. A story of strange and sometimes weird Swedish music, that in a way is the story of how Peps become Peps from MetalPeps and ThePepsRocker. And it’s also a lesson in the history of rock/punk/metal in Sweden. But mostly Read More …
Review: Skallbank – Grav Efter Grav
First of all, this EP is in Swedish… 🙂 Skallbank, yet another of this amazing bands coming from this small town Karlstad in Sweden. But with a sound that is really hard to put a label on. This is the first EP from the band, Read More …
