A hard rock six-piece with Jonas
Warnerbring (son of Swedish singer Östen Warnerbring) on vocals and
Björn ”Nysse” Nyström, future guitarist for pop star Magnus
Uggla and others. Their lone and bilangual album has a fair share of
progressive moves sometimes bordering on the symphonic. It's easy to
see why ”Råg I Ryggen” fetches some grand sums – it's habile
and heavy with lots of guitars. Some songs are OK albeit with
boneheaded lyrics, such as ”Jan Banan” and the riff happy
”Sanningsserum”, but something's lacking. Warnerbring isn't the
singer a band like Råg I Ryggen needs, his vocals are too
colourless. The album pretty much falls in the Blåkulla category. Nice try, thanks for playing, sorry you lost.
The album was reissued by Transubstans in 2005, with three previously unreleased live tracks added.
Warnerbring tried his solo luck in the 80's, releasing one album and a handful of singles, before joining band French Revolution. Later yet he wrote songs for various mainstream artists.
