For me, The Sinners is a kind of the beginning of the Hives, and the band that gave me the title: “Ah, it’s that Peps kind of music…“! The first time I heard the band was on national radio in 1990 with the single “Love You More Than This“, Read More …

Nale – new Swedish music
Say hi to Nale, a fresch bit of air. This is a relative new (for me at least) Stockholm-based band that in my opinion mixes a bit of Motörhead with Danko Jones. And maybe a touch of rockabilly. It’s hard, it’s melodic and it’s impossible Read More …
Strange Peps Music – Part 1 – Sator

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 …
Review: Knogjärn – Marscherar & Förstör
It’s been a long cold winter for me right now! Most metal-shit coming out right now, well it doesnt get me in the right place. For the moment there are very few “high-five-moments”. Most metal isn’t for me (maybe I’m getting old…) But thankfully the Read More …
Sepultura – Machine Messiah review
I seen something on Facebook a few weeks ago, an old friend asked about the new Sepultura and if it was worth listening to and after the usual “don’t bother no Max no Sepultura” rubbish, I though I’d go and have a listen for myself Read More …

About a month ago, I went to see a show with the amazing Blaze Bayley, and as a special guest he served us with Luke Appleton, the bass player of Iced Earth! And I was lucky enough to get a short interview with Luke after Read More …
