About Me

Two friends (Daniel & Joakim) decided to put all things aside after a simultaneous breakup with their girlfriends. Nothing was now more important than late nights and drinking, everything is good when you..re drunk. We all know it. Since a long time ago the two friends had played in the same band so they had a rehersal studio at hand. One night after a lot of streetwobbling they ended up in the studio. They started playing and something new to them appeared. They kept on playing and notes got into chords and chords into songs. That night they made a promise, to never write songs sober again. Maybe not the wisest idea but still they are committed to that promise and with high hopes they..ve now written a full length album that is due to release this spring/summer...I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/15/2006
Band Website: friskaviljor.net
Band Members: Daniel Johansson & Joakim Sveningsson.
Influences: we try to be as free as possible in our music, we´re trying to have a "nothing is impossible" kind of enviroment. when writing our album "Bravo!" we went to the studio either early nights before tumbling out on the streets of stockholm, or late nights after a couple of hours of partying. so alcohol has clearly been a really big inspiration. women of course, and bitterness combined with a little bit of hope.
Sounds Like: Everything and nothing. Maybe if everything is as we want it to be you can hear the sounds of desperate cries demanding something out of life that seems a bit too far away to reach. You might hear the sounds of false happiness or maybe just plain joy. It is you that decide what we sound like. Make up your own mind and dont listen to anybody elses opinion.
Record Label: crying bob records
Type of Label: Indie
