I agree - this band (and especially this album) holds up way better than you might expect.

Silverbullit reportedly did a recording session at Svenska Grammofon in Gbg this month. No idea if/how/when it'll be released, but I am eternally optimistic for new material from them.

Firefox AK and Hello Saferide will both perform at the House of Sweden in Washington DC on October 20. Obviously, not to be missed. If I could afford it, I'd be there myself.

Per Gessle and co-writer Mats MP Persson will celebrate 4 million American radio plays of the Roxette track "Listen to your heart" at a special BMI gala in London on October 7. An interesting sidenote in the press release: if you played the song that many times back-to-back, it would take 36 years. Feel free to make your own joke with that one.

Labrador is offering up the new Legends single "Seconds away" as a free download: https://www.labrador.se/mp3/the_legends-seconds_away.mp3
If you dig feedback squall pop ala JAMC/Pascal/etc., you'll dig this. I'm not normally a Legends fan, but I am definitely into it. C'mon, who doesn't love shrill feedback braindrills? Not me! Anyhow, the official date for the disc release (w/b-side remixes and so on) is November 5.
