Give our christmas song a spin and get into the mood.

A weekend in .studio a year ago laying the foundation of a new album. The demos are almost done now, and next year, we will venture back up north and record our 7th album (or 8th depending on how you count). So expect new wonderful noise from us in 2026.

There are drummers and then there is , whose birthday is today.

A little review from Glasgow.

The Janitors
The Janitors were the main reason for seeking out a ticket. With two or three albums already in the collection at home, I was familiar with their music and never felt it was a blind punt to go to the gig to see them.

The surprise, like so many gigs on our own musical tour, was the sheer intensity that the band brought to each song played.

Their Bandcamp profile identifies themselves as ‘Peddlers of heavy drones and fuzzed nightmares since 2004.’

There is little doubt they relish being in the midst of the drone like sounds that are fed from the guitars, bass and drums with founding members Jonas Eriksson and Henric Herlenius leading from the front on heavily fuzzed guitars and vocals.

Like opening act Dead Otter, the songs slowly built with ever increasing loudness and, though there was no doubt a structure to each, they appeared to extend into inspired jams that simply captivated the audience.

An impromptu encore was met with unsurprising applause, and, across the relatively short set, the band displayed a togetherness that has been part of their DNA since forming over two decades ago.

Formed in 2004, a respectable number of albums and tours under their belt. My only disappointment was that it took this long to see them! Not a mistake I intend to make again and already looking forward to another nightmare from them

An afternoon show might sound a bit strange, but once you were in the venue and The Janitors started playing, it immediately felt like the dead of night 🖤

Gustav joined them again for a couple of songs and it was a perfect match.

Then let rip and seemed to have a different energy to the rest of the week - they were amazing! ❤️

I'm not quite sure how both bands got better and better each time I saw them this week, but they did.

It was lovely being back in - the only time I've been there before was in between lockdowns to see Kungens Man. It was the first gig I'd been to since covid started, and it was such a special gig. Total euphoria.

Preston! We had a blast! And Jonas did his best swedish version of Damo joining
