Tyketto

Tyketto were an American heavy rock band of the 1990s who never achieved the success they felt they deserved. The group was put together in 1987 by former Waysted vocalist Danny Vaughn. Brooke St James (Guitar), Jimi Kennedy (Bass) and Micheal Clayton (Drums) completed the lineup. By 1990 the band had signed to Geffen Records, and released their debut album "Don't Come Easy".

Degreed

Life is full of surprises and unexpected decisions, which is two of the things that brought four young musicians together in Kopparberg during 2005. Through a few years these four musicians made different decisions and had different opinions and “degreed” ended up with six members, some of them who were there from the beginning and some of them new. With the same musical taste they started writing music together, which ended up in a beautiful mixture of six people’s minds and hearts in the form of music.
