To the department of remarkable band names we can add the trio Sterile Hermaphrodite, hailing from Uddevalla. And the music is also remarkable, which you can hear on their latest EP, “Big Fat Pussy Club”, where they serve their own, nice version of stoner rock mixed with punk vibes and streaks of metal.
Listen more on their Facebook page, on Spotify or on Wimp.
I’m going to finish this week with some punk, or at least in that direction. It’s Sharon, hailing from Stockholm, that has presented som great intense and raw rock on a three-track EP recently, represented below by the slowest of the three songs, “Graverobbers Blues”.
The band started out about a year ago and was initially named Skulls, a name the members weren’t entirely satisfied with. One of the song, “Sharon”, is about Sharon Tate and during a dinner it was suggested that it should be the band’s name as well, and it was settled.
You can listen to their music on their Soundcloud page and follow the band on their site.
Calidus, hailing from Norrköping, released their second EP in the Autumn, “Dust & Kerosene”. It’s four tracks with positive vibes, maybe inspired by The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys, with a rather raw nice sound with a nice rasp to it, and pleasant melodies both from the guitars and the vocals.
You can find Calidus on Facebook and listen to the EP on Spotify.

If someone can take over the heritage of Wilmer X‘ “malmöitic” rock veins today, it’s probably Dalaplan. And then I’m thinking about the Wilmer X that during the eighties toured like crazy and shouted “Kör dig död” to the audience while the sweat poured all over the scene.
There’s not as much blues in Dalaplan’s music, but the more of punk, garage and energy, more than enough for everyone. The five member band Dalaplan was formed from the remnants of Pachanga, which I have written about before. In 2010 they released their debut album and last year the EP “Feber” (“Fever”), and here below you can listen to two of the songs from the EP.
You can meet Dalaplan on their site and on Facebook. Their music is available on Spotify and on Wimp.
Before, Johan Reinhold made hip hop music under the name Fall One, and in 2008 he released the album “Behind Blue Eyes”. Now he’s changing his route and is coming out with something quite different. At least if I’m considering the first single track, the excellent “Shoot Me Down” from the upcoming album “Beautiful Loser”, where he instead present some melancholic singer/songwriter pop.
Listen to the song below or together with four remix versions on his Soundcloud page. You can also find Johan on Facebook.
