Album of the Month : October 1999

 

 

bob hund (S) : " Sover Aldrig "

( Silence )

 

1999: the penultimate year of the century proves to be a vintage one for Sweden's finest bob hund. They were responsible for no less than two new albums in the racks, the great " Jag rear ut min själl ! " (actually released late '98, but better heard in '99), and the band's first live recording "Sover Aldrig".

After 5 studio albums and loads of singles and EPs, it was high time for our Swedes to finally leave a trace of their much-lauded live shows. Mission accomplished beyond everyone's expectations. Not only "Sover aldrig" offers an ideal tracklisting which could provide an excellent "Best of..." compilation, it also manages to fully capture the band's legendary live form. Never before had bob hund appeared so close together and united: this is the sound of people staying together, playing together, the sound of a real band. Furthermore, never before had John and Conny's guitars sounded so sharp, clear and blazing. We already knew that the guys were an essential part in bob hund's music, but here it becomes glaring evidence. Check any track (may I suggest Allt pa ett kort or the end of Det skulle...) to be sure: this album is THEIR album.

And a damn good one for sure.

 

 

Get more info on bob hund on our reviews of " Omslag: Martin Kann" (album of the month, November '97) and "Jag rear ut min själl " (album of the month, February '99), both available on our website .

And if you need more bob hund live thrills, get their video cassette featuring lots of live footage, backstage shots and video-clips (don't miss the Istället för musik: förvirring one, with Thomas Öberg trying to sing the lyrics backwards: great fun guaranteed!) :
