| October 14, 2005 - RoastingHouse Records The releases on our own label RoastingHouse Records continues with last weeks release WONDERBOYS and todays release LEGRAND. Please visit their homepages and listen to their fantastic music and we are certainly proud to represent these great rock/pop bands. LEGRAND was formed in Motala in 1998 by two pairs of brothers and a bass player. Anders needed an education in the very south of Sweden so the band members decided to follow to keep their beloved band running. The rumour started spreading about a good band rehearsing at Kajplats 305 and one of the band’s demos came into the hands of RoastingHouse and after watching a live show with the band the plans for their debut album was set. It’s a brilliant album with a lot of melancholic poprock, energy and hitsongs. They guys have an incredible stage presence because of their numerous gigs on small clubs to big festivals. Video available for “One quick look”. WONDERBOYS is the new band of Per Davidsson, former member of successful duo The Trampolines that was extremely popular in Japan a few years ago and sold hundreds of thousands albums and toured extensively over there. On this album Per explores his roots in American rock but still keep a firm grip of the wonderful catchy melodies of Swedish songwriting. Guitarist and long time friend Pelle Jerneryd co-produced with Per and helped creating the wonderful atmosphere of this debut album. Video available for the title track “Stronger than you”. |
