Biography

Swedish band, playing blues but mainly reggae, formed in 1973. They released the album Blodsband in 1974. Blodsband became a popular record thanks to the song "Falsk matematik" and was on Kvällstoppen for 15 weeks. In 1975 came the album Hög standard which became the first with only reggae music. Here were Swedish versions of Bob Marley's "Stir It Up" and "Talkin 'Blues" ("Styr den opp", "Snackelåt") together with Swedish reggae music written by Peps Persson himself. His translations of well-known reggae lyrics are reasonably headstrong and very Scanian. This is, for example, Bob Marley's "Small Ax" in Scanian "Liden såg". The subsequent album Droppen urholkar stenen contained both blues and reggae. In 1978 he released the album Spår which contained the classic "Hyreskasern". It was a Swedish version of Jacob Miller's "Tenement Yard". In 1992, the album Spelar för livet was released, featuring his probably biggest hit "Oh Boy". In 2005 they released their first studio album since the 1990s, Äntligen!.
