What?
Alfavrak, the Swedish rock band with “the sound of a shopping trolley pushed through gravel and ice in the tired Scandinavian night” is putting out something resembling an album called »Kass kontroll« (…lousy control).

Why?
No reason.

Who?
By and for those who are slightly worse people.

When?
Probably soon.

What’s on the album?
Plain rock with a trolley in gravel and snow kind of edge.

This low key rock opera is a collection of randomly chosen singles among them:

»12 steg« (…12 steps) selected as song of the week in Classic Rock Magazine.
“A Swedish language rocker that takes the taut, riff-hard rock of The Hives and adds a dose of brittle post-punk guitar. It all ends up sounding like a Bon Scott-era AC/DC engine welded to a Gang Of Four chassis.” — Classic Rock Magazine

»Grisarnas Natt« (…Night of the Pigs)
“Energetic riffs that are then joined by powerhouse vocals and a supercharged drum arrangement. The song then proceeds to see Alfavrak unleash impressive and attention grabbing rock melodies.” — Music Crowns

»Jag är Zen« (…I am Zen)
“Beneath a layer of raw, dirty rock there’s a rollercoaster with a swinging ride, free to exploit however you like, but it’s also okay to sit still and dig relentlessly.” — Freakmagnet

Will this album change the world?
Yeah.

Back to zero. Nothing fancy. No style. No smartness. As easy as it gets. Plain old rock rock ’n’ roll by and for those of us who are slightly worse people. Put simply, the sound of an unruly shopping trolley being pushed through the gravel, snow and ice in the tired Scandinavian night.

The name Alfavrak means “Alpha Wrecks” and is a quite appropriate description of a simple rock band that regards themselves more as fans than proper musicians. The members are in many ways the leftover debris of a bunch of Swedish garage rock bands who had the good taste to implode when their time had come… As far as it comes to any kind of profile the band takes real pride in playing nothing else than just plain old stubborn rock ‘n’ roll.

Alfavrak is:
Bo Rylander – Drums
Jarkko Kuikko – Guitar
Jens Eriksson – Bass
Mattias Silvell – Vocals, Guitar
