Bassist Urrke T has left Maryslim. Filling in for him on the band's upcoming gigs will be Peter Henriksson of Hellsingland Underground.
Bands like Hellsingland Underground frustrate me. On one hand, I can totally understand why a bunch of Swedes would want to start a Southern boogie-rock band ala Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Allman Bros. I bet they have a great time doing it and I imagine that local audiences lap it up. But why record a full album? Do they really think they'll appeal to a more widespread audience? At least the single "Northern country boy" attempts to redress the usual redneck clichés according to the band's true origins, but I'm still left thinking "so what?" Is it because I feel like they could do so much more with it? Or maybe it's because the music simply isn't all that great. I know this stuff is supposed to have a laidback feel, but they've crossed over the line to tepid. Perhaps they should indulge in a bit more of that hembränt and weed they're talking about in order to loosen up. Disappointing.
