The band Skurkarna (the crooks) call their music crime rock. On the new album “A Crimewave Escapade” they direct a hardboiled instrumental gangster story. The combination of the atmosphere from thriller movies and TV series from the sixties, samples with film quotes and their own touch of rock make it a quite interesting album, absolutely worth seeing.

Aerials, Christoffer Franzén’s music project I wrote about in Spring, is underway with the debut album “Lights & Motion”; an album which he says will be full of arena sounds and filmic moments. He has uploaded a first taste from the album, the song “Home”, which is just about that: a song with film vibes with a slow build-up to an arena crescendo.

We Do Not Negotiate With Terrorists with Ross Downing in the front is back with the new single “Big If”, and present a heavier rawer and more energic sound thanbefore. “Big If” is a great song that breathes of post punk spiced up with the beautiful backing vocals by Sophia Axelsson which make the song fly even higher.

Chernobiel is a Finnish band with partly Swedish roots. So far they’ve released three song, which you can listen to on their Soundcloud page. It’s a good, nicely guitar driven indie rock which sometimes gives me Radiohead vibes. Listen here below in a track.

Update
Apparently the band has changed name since I had contact with them the last time. They call themselves Krohnstadt now and they have a Facebook page to visit.
Tomorrow Martin Prahl’s Skelter Wheel start their tour with a gig at KB in Malmö. Supporting The Levellers they then continue to Oslo, Stockholm, Göteborg and Köpenhamn. In the luggage they carry the excellent new album “Martin Prahl’s Skelter Wheel” which was released in September.
It’s a dense, energic rock with a big sound that Martin and his band present. A rather untrendy rock at the moment I’d say, to judge from all the tips I receive. Which is a good sign for me, to have the guts to do your own thing. It feels like the roots can be found somewhere in melodic rock and hard rock from the seventies and with some extension into the eighties. There’s quite a few folk vibes in the music, which makes me sometimes think of Tony Carey’s rock songs from the eighties.
