| Knugen Faller | Knugen Faller is a fairly new (around 2004?) Swedish punkrock band from Umeå. Knugen Faller plays a classic, popish punk while vocalist Anna Philippson delivers a political message. For those who know their punkrock history they sound like a mix of Grisen Skriker and X-Ray Spex. For the rest, standing right by wanting to understand, they sound early 1980s, new wavepunk with some stains of power pop and inspired criticism of society. (references) | ||
