Anyway, if you haven’t heard him before, and are interested what the heck this is all about, use this Spotify link and listen to his most popular song ”Valentine”: Lars Ludvig Löfgren – Valentine

On the day today, exactly two years ago, we released this very cool five-track EP. When thinking about it I’m still quite annoyed by the fact that we didn’t get so much airplay for the first track on ”Ambivalence” since ”Ol´Pa (Work All Night)” is such a superb indie song, that if you ask me of course.

Anyway, feel free to listen to ”Ambivalence” by using this Spotify link: Amber Oak – Ambivalence

It’s been a while since I last announced a long lost track, so therefore I thought it might be a wise thing to do in the beginning of 2015. This time around I found myself listening to a truly great song released some plus ten years back. A song which, in fact, also did really well on radio, and if you listen to it your self, you will probably understand why. The song I’ve chosen this time around is no more nor less than ”Shake Up Your Soul” by Vega. A bombastic love duett between Ellekari Larsson och Nille Sandberg, all produced excellent by Jari Haapalainen. And so that no misunderstandings will appear, one can easily say that Vega is more or less Nille Sandberg together with some great musicians. 

All in all have A West Side Fabrication released two albums with Vega in the beginning of the new millennium. And without doubts ”Shake Up Your Soul” was their (so far) most popular song.

So please check out “Shake Up Your Soul”, by using any of the links below, the ninth selected song in our search of long lost tracks.

On this last day of the year 2014 we thought that it could be smart and announce what will be our first song out 2015, apart from the obvious to greet you all a happy new year.

In other words, our first song out next year will be Sanna Stuardo’s ”Never Feel Alright”, which is her third single. A single who is recorded, produced and written by Hannes Lundberg (EKO/Le Kid) and David Ahlström. The date is sat to January 19 and if you’re interested in get some kind of vibe of what Sanna is all about, use this Spotify link to check out her previously releases: Sanna Stuardo

Our superb three piece guitar combo Sentimental Pet are soon back (their third single) with a Sonic Youth inspired three and a half minutes aggressive monotonic hell of cocktail.

The titel is Killing Time and the release date is sat for the 29th of this month (if everything goes as planned), which indeed are in good time before New Years eve.

In meantime, if interested, use this Spotify link and check out their previously releases: Sentimental Pet

If everything turns out as it suppose to, we will see (and hear) the new KFM single “Att tänka på sig själv” (To think of himself) tomorrow.

His previously one “Mardrömmar” can be heard or watched at, by using one of these two links;

As quite a surprise was our two most played songs on Spotify Sweden during October from a re-release of an old Hardy Nilsson single, who could imagine that?

As said before, have the second half of the year 2014 been, in our standards, quite slow with only one release each month, except for July when we gave you two.

It all started off, in the beginning of July, with Rickard och Juvelerna’s ”Madeleine på broplatsen” (Rickard och Juvelerna – Madeleine på Broplatsen), followed two weeks later by the summer single “Tuggummi och sommarregn” (Lars Ludvig Löfgren – Tuggummi & sommarregn) from Lars Ludvig Löfgren. This two July releases was followed by the August release of ”Unsure” (Sanna Stuardo – Unsure), which was the second single from Sanna Stuardo. In September it was time for a cool retro album ”Groover’s Manoeuvres” (Albatross – Groovers’ Maneuvers) from Gothenburg based Albatross. Octobers release was also a Gothenburg one, namely ”Burning floors” (Alexia Enberg – Burning Floors – Single) by Alexia Enberg. So after this it’s only two month and two releases left of this year. In November its once again time for Rickard och Juvelerna. This time around they’ll give us a farty party song called ”Havanna-himmel”, with a release date sat to the 25th. The last release this year will be a new single from KFM. KFM who each and every year, since a couple of years back, comes up with a new single.

In other words, stay tune for more information.

A damn good band from Uppsala are Duellen, a band that should deserve much more attention. So far we have released five songs together with them, but much more is coming on. Because if all goes well, they will start record a couple of new songs in the near future.

Until then, I think you all should listen to their epic ”Sysslomansgatan” a suggestive and emotional song about the fact that nobody wants to go home alone after a late night out.

So if interested, use of any of the links below, because Duellen is worth it.

Spotify: Duellen – Sysslomansgatan
