Hello, I’m Valtteri from Finland, and I’ll be contributing to this blog as often as possible. As I’m Finnish, I’ll most likely concentrate the most on music from my own country (I can’t really avoid coming into contact with news from Finland, can I), although I’m also very interested in expanding my knowledge in the other Nordic countries as well. To kick this thing off, here’s a piece of news from Sweden!

The popular Swedish rock and pop outfit Kent just released a new single from their current album Tillbaka till Samtiden, which saw the light of day last year. The material on the album initially drew controversy among the legions of Kent fans with it’s renewed, electronically enhanced style, but the new direction was all for the good of the long-running band, because Tillbaka till Samtiden received mostly ravingly praising reviews and was a success all around. The new single, titled Vy från ett luftslott (Punks Jump Up Remix) is a more dance-oriented reworking of the track Vy från ett luftslott from Tillbaka till Samtiden, and it’s a great way to introduce yourself to Kent’s unique style of addictive pop-rock. You can download the 100% free single with artwork on Kent’s website, but since the site is completely in Swedish, I’ve included direct links to it below.
