NEW ALBUM AUGUST 2008!!

About Me



It’s difficult to put Kristoffer Ragnstam simply. He is a Swedish rock musician who is at home in most parts of the world and within any musical genre, a drummer who was a born frontman. He’s a singer-songwriter in the most literal sense of the designation: he writes the songs he sings, but the similarities between guitar strumming self-absorption and Ragnstam’s extroverted observations that bound over the confines of genre end there. Labeled the Swedish Beck, the comparison is helpful in both musical eclecticism as well as the studio alchemy both musicians perform. Ragnstam specializes in an exuberant type of rock, with strains of everything he’s ever heard – musical and otherwise -- found like footnotes in his songs.
