Swedish Hard RAWK!

One of my favourite bands of the past few years is Dungen, a hard rock outift out of Stockholm, Sweden. Their name (pronounced Doon-Yen) means "the grove" in Swedish but don't let that tame name fool you, they're as Zeppelinesque as they come - but in Swedish. They are fronted by Gustav Ejstes, who writes all the music and plays all the instruments on the bands first three albums, the best of which being 2004's "Ta Det Lugnt." They have a new album coming out in May called Tio Bitar and I strongly suggest you have a listen. Here are some preview tracks from the upcoming album:

Dungen-Familj.mp3
Dungen-GorDetNu.mp3

Bonus: Here's the video for my favourite Dungen song, "Panda."





Enjoy!

I'm glad to hear I'm on the same level as Jane. Of all the women's mags, they are by far by favourite. If only they could go six months without putting Drew Barrymore on the cover.
