PER WIBERG
Hur börjar man ens presentera Per Wiberg? Han har spelat med Opeth, Spiritual Beggars, Clutch, Candlemass, Switchblade, Kamchatka, Sky High osv osv osv i evighet. Nu har han just släppt sin tredje soloplatta ”The Serpent’s Here” och det måste firas och uppmärksammas! Herr Wibergs häxblandning innehåller allt gott som går att hitta i det tunga barskåpet - musiken ekar av gammal god hård rock, postpunk, doom, noiserock, progressiv rock och en massa annat skumt och hookigt i en välstrukturerad röra. Kritikerna jublar! På senaste plattan fick Per sällskap av Tor Sjödén (Viagra Boys) på trummor och Mikael Tuominen (Kungens Män mm) på bas, men kvällens sättning blir:

Per Wiberg - gitarr och sång 

Mikael Tuominen - bas

Jesper Skarin - trummor

Tobias Alpadie - gitarr

ALARM! are a hardcore punk band from Stockholm, Sweden. After twenty-plus years of playing together in Victims, Andy, Jon and Gareth reunited in early 2023 with the ambition of making some new noise. Jon switched from guitar to bass and the trio wrote a bunch of songs. About a year later they were joined by Jon’s childhood friend, Henrik. This would be the first time the two had played together since their legendary hardcore band Outlast folded in the late 90’s.

Henrik’s vocals and Jon’s bass playing are the key ingredients in taking ALARM!’s sound away from these Swede’s well-known crust punk roots. The bass is both manic and melodic at the same time, pummeling the riffs behind the wall of guitar and drums. Henrik’s piercing vocals, raw yet steeped in emotion, scream of personal anguish and pissed off, political rage. ALARM! have endeavoured to evoke the classic Swedish sound whilst harking back to an ever-so-slight hint of melodic hardcore pre Y2K.

ALARM! have a 9 song twelve inch record already recorded and soon to be released by Armageddon, as well as an upcoming appearance on the second instalment of Malmö-based Quarantined Records “Greetings From Sweden” compilation. As a follow up to the debut album, a 7 inch is already in the pipeline. A slew of shows in Sweden throughout 2023 have seen ALARM! share stages with the likes of Chain Whip, Nukies and Sharp Tongues. Early 2024 marked their first trip abroad, to Spain, with Barcelona’s Enchastre. More shows are planned for 2024, both in Sweden and further afield.
