KSMB

KSMB never fared very well with the critics. But while they've always stood in the shadows of the critically hailed Ebba Grön, at their height of fame in the early '80s they were able to draw almost as big crowds. Where Ebba Grön were angry and serious and in some ways lyrical, KSMB were more playful and had a stronger "don't give a damn" attitude. Maybe KSMB didn't have the same talent when it came to lyrics, but this, together with their approach and their singalong friendliness, in a way only made them more punk. After their first album, KSMB developed a slightly softer sound, similar to what would later be called punk-pop. The band only held together until 1982, but the last year it was one of the most popular live acts in Sweden. After that, KSMB members were involved with other bands (Strindberg, Stockholms Negrer) until they reunited in 1993, but that didn't prove very successful.

Ebba Grön

Ebba Grön was a Swedish punk/rock band. The band was formed in 1977 by Joakim Thåström (Pimme), Gunnar Ljungstedt (Gurra) and Lennart Eriksson (Fjodor), all from Rågsved, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden. Their debut album, We’re Only in it for the Drugs, was released in 1978. After their second album Kärlek & Uppror (“Love & Revolt”) in 1981, Anders Sjöholm (Stry Terrarie) joined them. Their third album, released in 1982 and simply named Ebba Grön, also became their last; the band never recovered after Fjodor went to jail for four months for refusing to do military service, and the group disbanded in 1983. The three remaining members went on to form the group Rymdimperiet, which soon became the influential rock band Imperiet.
“Ebba Grön” was a code name the Swedish police used in an operation against a terrorist group (a part of the German Red Army Faction), planning to kidnap the Minister for Immigration, Anna-Greta Leijon, in 1976.
Their probably most famous and most played song is "Staten och Kapitalet" (“The State and the Capital”, roughly translated) and is a song purely and very directly critical towards the Swedish politics and politicians of the time, or maybe unjust politicians in general. The song is actually a cover of Blå Tåget’s "Den ena handen vet vad den andra gör" (“The one hand knows what the other hand is doing”).

Union Carbide Productions

Union Carbide Productions was a Swedish rock band formed by Ebbot Lundberg (vocals), Patrik Caganis, Björn Olsson, Per Helm and Henrik Rylander in Gothenburg. Their music can be described as a fusion of psychedelic rock and punk rock — and a bit angrier and closer to stoner rock than the Soundtrack of Our Lives (the band that emerged from the ashes of Union Carbide Productions). Their influences were the Stooges, Frank Zappa, MC5, the Rolling Stones, Love, Black Flag and Minor Threat. With a background in Gothenburg's richer suburbs, the bands members built an image of lost and alienated yuppie kids on a hunt for kicks, somewhere in a fictive world between nothing to lose and manhood test. Among band's fans, Kurt Cobain, Dave Wyndorf, Sonic Youth, Foetus, Jon Spencer, and Jello Biafra can be mentioned. The name Union Carbide Productions originates from the company name Union Carbide Corporation that was written on a battery that Björn Olsson had, and that was involved in the Bhopal disaster in 1984.

The Sinners

The Sinners, Lund's major contribution to the history of rock'n'roll, started playing in the winter of 1982-83. Prior to the Sinners, the members were involved in various punk and new wave bands without gaining more than local success. The Sinners did their first live appearance in September 1983 when they played support to Wilmer X at Fredman's in Malmö. They've been doing gigs regularly ever since and have secured a position as one of the most exciting bands from southern Sweden. In the very beginning they covered old Nuggets standards, but very soon they begun writing their own material. They released three singles (Open Up Your Door/Echoes (From Your Heart), Won't Be Back and Hotshot/I Won't Take That From You) on their own label Teenage Kicks. In April 1986 the Sinners did their first tour abroad with six successful gigs in France and appeared on French TV and radio. In October 1986 the French label Swamp Records released a mini-LP entitled The Original Sin containing the first three singles and some other tracks. To promote this mini-LP the Sinners returned to France in January 1987 for a more extensive tour which also included gigs in Germany and Spain. Once home, the Sinners started recording their first album, From the Heart Down, which was released in October 1987 by Amigo Records. In the beginning of 1990 the Sinners started the recordings of their second album together with producer Michael Ilbert at the Polar Studio where also ABBA and Led Zeppelin had recorded. The album was named Piece by Piece and was released by MNW in april 1990, followed by a successful tour. Soon after that, the Sinners went back into the studio to record the follower Turn It Up!. In 1992 the Sinners were awarded the Zeppelin price as Best Swedish Rockband, and they were also nominated for a grammy earlier that year. The Sinners got a major recorddeal with Warner Music in 1993 and in October of that year Come Fly with Us was released. After disputes with Warner Music, the Sinners left the label and had a long break. During this break the band members got engaged in other projects; Langhorns (Michael and Rikard), the Men (Sven) and Zerox (Henki and Rikard again). Through the years until 1994, the Sinners toured a lot to more than 300 cities in many different countries (Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Germany, Austria, Spain and France); in 1989 they played at one of Europe's biggest festivals, the Roskilde Festival.
