Ursus betyder bjørn på latin, men er også navnet på et traktorservice firma i Jyderup. I den her frobindelse er det dog navnet på et spansk oufit, som spiller hurtigt og vredt hardcore/punk så ikke et øje er tørt, Bandet er bygget på de glorværdige rester af bands som Ekkaia, Cop on Fire, Extincion og Leadershit, så vi snakker smæk for skillingerne her!
Bøyen Beng er norsk punkrock med rødder tilbage til 1987, hvor punk ikke var for sjov! Vores norske venner er ikke for at sætte rocken først og fyre op for en fest. Sangene er en anarkistisk blanding af progressive elementer, hardrock, punktendenser, norsk sang, popflørt, folkemusik og ikke mindst punkrock!
Lycka Till
Review:
"Lycka Till"; Plan-It-X
4 stars out of 4
It feels like winning the lottery when you pick up a CD on a whim, knowing nothing about a band, and get knocked out. Lycka Till is a Swedish folk punk band with trumpets, great trumpets. Most songs aren't in English, but they're universal in their joy and catchiness. For instance, "Pa Gott Och Ont" reminds me a little of early 1970s Paul Simon; it radiates happiness, even if I learn it's about depression. The sound mixes acoustic and electric instruments, and the trumpet isn't ska but Balkan in flavor. For references to more well-known bands (that's relative), I'd say a little Beirut, a little Gogol Bordello, some Against Me and a lot of This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb. But if you don't know those bands, don't worry. You've only got to like music to love this album. I'll be shocked if this isn't my favorite of 2010.
