The Kalashnikov Orchestra

Delivers music that feels like a T.K.O!

About Me

The Kalashnikov Orchestra is no more. A chapter in the Malmö punk rock history has come to an end. We had alot of fun and that was our main goal.
People loved us, people hated us, people respected us, people disrespected us, people laughed at us, people laughed with us, we played at pretty big venues and we played for a bunch of 10-year olds who would'nt even care to let go of their game of Monopoly. We had fun either way and none of us would trade any of the memories for the world.
Even though the band have desided to call it the day, it's like Miklo said when they tried to break up La Onda and moved the members to diffrent prisons.
- "This will only help us get stronger"
The T.K.O Guerilla will always live inside us and will always be a motivation for us to keep playing punk rock in new bands
Thanks for the support and all the memories!

"Tunga Oi! partier med svängig och trallvänlig streetpunk på ett bra sätt"
( "Heavy Oi! parts mixed with sing-a-long friendly street punk in a good way" )

"KALASHNIKOV ORCHESTRA-GUARDIAN DEVIL(MINI-CD) When I put on this record with this Swedish group I get a flashback and I think back to the beginning of the 80´s and when this type of English punk came to the world. Fast, melodic punkrock but without sounding as a band like Bad Religion and here it was more groups like GBH; Major Accident and Business which have been the influences for this group. I can imagine that a record label as Kjell Hell would be interested in the group if I would say something or give someone an advice. Lion in a concrete jungle have got a little bit of skainfluenced sound and that don´t hurts…(SEVEN) 8/11-06"
