Unfortunately, I'm not sure whether or when I can do the show again. Any news I will post here.

Anyway, one more post coming up in a few minutes. 2013 has started already, and new exciting music is being released. So this comes a bit late. But it's necessary. The best of 2012 list.

Cheers!

Concert tips:

Joel Alme tonight at Pustervik, The Vaccines at Pustervik on Sunday night. Should both be worth it.

And yeah, do check out Palma Violets. Took me a few listens, but I really like the cheering/shouting style, has a bit the aggressiveness bands like The Cribs can have. Try, maybe it works on you ;)
