A West Side Fabrication

About Me

A West Side Fabrication is an independent label based in Skellefteå in northern Sweden. The label, since founded in 1987, has become one of the most inventive and radical labels in Sweden. Some nine bands are signed to the label and most of them have gained critical acclaim both in Sweden and abroad. UK radio guru John Peel (god bless his memory) was a great fan of the label.

The word cool has always walked beside AWSF. The phrase "got a cooler sounding name" comes from Quentin Tarantino's movie "Reservoir Dogs". Mr Pink says to Mr White "it's easy for you to say, you got a cool sounding name." The founders of A West Side Fabrication, Joakim Wallström and Jörgen Dahlqvist, saw the movie and thought that expression was the coolest, hardest thing they ever heard.
