Antenna interviews Dark Tranquility: https://www.antenna.nu/darktranquillity/interview3.php
The band's new album "Fiction" comes out April 23. I haven't kept up with them on a regular basis in a loooong while (probably since 1997's "The mind's I" - hello Friday post!), but I listened to the new one once and liked what I heard.
MP3: Gravy - Glory to our brilliant name
Gravy might just be my favorite Danish indierock act. They're equal parts catchy and quirky, with a great sense of humor. As if it wasn't obvious from the title of their new album "Glory to our brilliant name". The self-aware lyrics probably aren't exactly what you'd expect - it's more a song of self-doubt than boasting - but it's still a little silly in the way they play up indie stereotypes. I too wear Converse shoes, the same as everyone else. And yes, I worry that success is antithetical to what I'm about. Or worried, I should say - it's much less an issue the older I get. Settle down? Done. It's not so bad. Thing is, I now work way harder than I ever did and much of that work goes towards making sure bands like Gravy get the attention they deserve. Listen up!

MP3: Abramis Brama - Nålen
No one could ever accuse Abramis Brama of being original, but that's hardly the point. This is ballsy hard-rock played with heart and that's all there is to it. This song gets a bit jammed-out in the middle section, but what do you expect from a live record? Abramis Brama are classic rock to the core. Sure it's clichéd. It's also a lot of fun. Overthink it and you miss the point.

Per and Anders from Breach plus Patrik from Brick and Lars from The End Will Be Kicks. Picks up fairly close to where Brick left off I think. Look for their album "New agenda" to possibly be released this fall.
