Sad Day For Puppets

Sad Day For Puppets were formed in 2006 in Blackeberg, Sweden, a suburb of Stockholm, by Martin Källholm, guitarist and songwriter. The natural focal point of the band is singer Anna Eklund. Most of the bands influences can be traced back to the early nineties, when they all were teenagers. This period has made it’s mark on the band. The guitars are once again allowed to roam free and shine. SDFP want their music to express feelings of warmth, honesty and melancholy; decadence and drugs yields precedence to tea and trivial pursuit.

Lost Idol

James Dean, the Lost Idol, likes to think his unique and often unpredictable psychedelic downtempo sound stems from happy studio accidents. When it comes to making music, he gets his kicks from doing something different, paying little regard to fashion or formula. Thankfully others appreciated this attitude and enabled him to release early Lost Idol creations on pioneering independent label Pork Recordings.

Loop's sound was characterized by strong and influences in addition to the minimalist mayhem of The Stooges and MC5. Their songs were almost uniformly harsh and repetitive, with indecipherable vocals buried under layers of noisy guitar riffs and metronomic drumming. Some of the records featured covers of Suicide, The Pop Group and Can as bonus tracks.
