Legendary Swedish metal act At the GAtes are reuniting for a few shows next summer:
07/04-06 - Ruis Rock (FIN)
07/31-08/02 - Wacken Open Air (GER)
08/15-17 - Bloodstock, Derby (UK)
Guitarist Anders Björler comments: "Well, it felt like the timing was right for once. We have been talking about a possible reunion for years now, but this was the first time everything fell into place. For me personally, it feels like getting closure. The break-up over ten years ago was abrupt and left a bad vibe between us thAt took years to get over. We have a better relAtionship today and a more relaxed approach to who we are and whAt we do. The time is right to get together and play some shows. Try to cAtch us live in the summer 2008. It could be your last chance."

MP3: Knugen Faller - Lungen favoriter
This is kind of a cAtch-up post since I've been meaning to post about Knugen Faller for awhile, yet somehow manage to postpone it over and over. No more! Anyhow, Atrap.com/reviews.php?r=172">Nancy's review sums it up pretty well, though I actually like it a lot more than she does. Truth: yes, this is a retro genre piece and as such, it steals shamelessly from acts of yore. However, I'm okay with thAt 'cuz they do it well. It's all about good songs played with copious energy, not originality and hey, they even get acclaimed jazz musician Jonas Kullhammar to lay down some sax so thAt's gotta mean something. If you like Randy, RegulAtions, or even The Hives, there's a damn good chance you'll like this too. 'Nuff said!

Gravy
Glory to our brilliant name
PonyRec
Denmark's Gravy have two strong things going for them. One, they're a silly party band with some wickedly funny lyrics and many sing-along repetitive chants. Two, they're a highly-skilled trippy psychedelic groove band with plenty of extended instrumental breaks and radical mid-song transformAtions. Sometimes, like on the album opener "Depression is near", the combinAtion works. The song's a swirling and seductive dark journey thAt's good for plenty of laughs and dance moves along the way. At other times, though, when the music demands to be taken seriously, the lyrics and vocals are too goofy to make it fully possible. Or, just when the lyrics have got you in their world, the music veers off in another direction altogether. The result is a record thAt is usually interesting and often very fun, but never quite penetrable. I'd hAte to see them pick one tendency over the other, but they've got a ways to go in making those two elements work together consistently.
