Since their romantic ruin debut in 2007, with the album Generation destruktiv, Le Muhr have been digging deeper
into the desperation and boredom of after parties and toilet graffiti. It is hardly cheerful, but quite fun.
The result, the sequel Flickorna på klubben, is a study in general human gloom and a theme to the inner self of riot grrls,
eyeliner addicts, emo kids and even some punk rockers from the golden era. The Le Muhrs like to find new odd solutions.
The EP Flickorna på klubben, is partly financed by the crowd funding site fundedbyme.com and it can only be obtained digitally
together with the fanciest Tote Bag this year.

Obviously the world’s falling to pieces, and once again Gamla Pengar feels the urge to react.
Thus releasing their second ep in 2011.
Venting their disgust towards politicians who are merely puppeteers
in the hands of capitalism, and taking a stand for the people and environment,
which continually are forced aside. It’s been a rough year for the Gothenburg based band as well.
Broken bones, personal bankruptcy, and a total of $ 400 for eleven shows takes its toll. The new ep,
released by Beat Butchers, sounds accordingly. “Stekt orm” is a straggling punk ep, which proves Gamla Pengar
to be one of Sweden’s most interesting acts. Still it hasn’t solemnly been darkness.
The band’s debut left the critics unanimously longing for more. And there will be more. Besides “Stekt orm” and a planned European tour,
the buzz has spread over the Atlantic ocean. Early 2012 Washington based label Cricket Cemetery will release next coming 7”

"Obviously the world’s falling to pieces, and once again Gamla Pengar feels the urge to react. Thus releasing their second ep in 2011.

Fueled by frustration, Gamla Pengar’s catchy rock driven punk indicates one of Sweden’s most interesting acts."

Järnmalm was formed in the year 2008/2009 by a bunch of old buddies who during the 90s – and 00s devoted themselves to all sorts of punk and metal. The members have a past in bands such as Varnagel, No Sense, Human Desolation and Nån Jävla Punk.
Sights were set on playing some sort of Swedish rock and the first songs that got scratched up were those who belonged to Tobbes soloproject from the year before. The bands common passion for the dark and gloomy then transferred the songwriting forward in the direction that came to be known Rysrock.
Synth-sound that found its way into the band's songs, came by pure coincidence. When they did their first gigs, even as a few months young band, Joel injured his hand and couldn't play guitar for a long time. Thus he picked up the synth. After experimenting out of its role in the songs it was decided that it would also be involved in recording the first demo "Trasdockor" made in spring 2009. Since then the band had some difficulties to depart from the component that made Järnmalm get their individual character and in the autumn when the first album was recorded ("Ur gruvan") the synth had an obvious place as an alternative instrument for Joel to play. The album started the band's collaboration with the iconic recordcompany from Stockholm called Beat Butchers and the album was released in January 2010.
After a bunch of gigs in the spring and summer, Beat Butchers published their first fully digital release, in the form of Järnmalm "Ti...
