    ”Makin' it” is somewhat of a past tense in the rock world nowadays. When filesharing's got the record industry shaking in its boots, and chewing-gum-marketability and safe bets are the only thing the industry's ready to invest in, doing it your own thing is the last and only option. If you want to make a living of rock music that is. That's just what Molly's Gusher did. Made their own records. After paying their dues through demos, small gigs, dirty rehearsal rooms and member changes, the band always persevered.

    They managed to be the first Swedish band ever to play at the acclaimed Woodstock Stop festival, in front of 400 000 people. They got rotation of their “Queen of my heart” – video on both MTV2 and MTV Nordic and they got voted as the best band in their home town of Örebro in 2003. All this, and raving reviews, and well visited gigs.

    This kind of acclaim tends to get frustrating without the “real” success. It's kind of like feeding an albatross chick in a canary cage. So they did what any reasonable band would do at this point, and took matter into their own hands. November 2005 saw the dawning of a fully accomplished Molly's Gusher. With their self titeled album they had the means for world domination, and not to say the drive and the energy. Their warm, lucid melodies, in combination with their down tuned, pounding rhythms penetrates the very core of the listeners emotional center. Just to stomp all over it.

    Now it is follow-up time. Placing Mattias Färm...
