About Me
In 1992, three thirteen year olds started out playing Chuck Berry covers under the name Free Force. They soon changed personnel and became The Strollers. Before long they had built up a good reputation, playing 60s punk at dances and parties in their hometown rebro. Their main influence was US 60's garage music such as; Music Machine, 13th Floor Elevators, The Seeds, The Sonics, The Wailers, Monks, Unrelated Segments, along with European (60's of course) acts - (Dutch) Outsiders, Cuby & the Blizzards, (Swedish) Friends, Namelosers, Shanes, Tages, Stringtones. The 80's bands where not ignored either; The Lyres, Fuzztones, Chesterfield Kings, Tell Tale Hearts, Crimson Shadows, Stomachmouths & Wylde Mammoths, remain as a few of the biggest inspirations. The intention was to play classic garagerock music the way they thought it should sound. This was more than just a fascination for 60's clothes & music, it was truely a way of life. Beeing laughed at in school and even beaten up at times didn't stop these boys, they were on a mission to seriously damage the eardrums on all the jocks and people that didn't see things their way. Though this kind of music wasn't happening at all during the early & mid 90's people couldn't dismiss the sincere & honest approach that they were puttin through. Summer -97 one of Low Impacts founding fathers stumbled upon a gang of street punks, begging him for money to by beer and hotdogs. As a result of this meeting The Strollers made their debut record which was a 7" EP. Another two track 7" (Bring Her Home/Stay Away) soon followed. Both these singels are now rare collectables among garage freaks worldwide. In April -99 the bands full length album "Falling Right Down" was released. 11 new originals recorded on equipment from the sixties to get the right sound. They played a lot all over Scandinavia and got established as a wild and energetic live act as well as infamous for their wild off-stage behaviour. The Strollers recorded a second album, entitled "Captain Of My Ship" and did their first and last European tour before they decided to call it a day. Their original brand of garage rock'n'roll is missed by many fans all over the globe
