Another festival has gone by and it always goes too fast. This was my 22nd Sweden Rock Festival since 1998 when it was still named Karlshamn’s Rock Festival. During the years I have seen hundreds of bands and some bigger names in rock several times. I just love going to that festival and meeting old […]
Strom (actually spelled with an umlaut over the “o”, but my North American keyboard can’t handle that…..lol) are a Swedish band hailing from Vaxjo (also with umlauts….stupid keyboard). They began less than three years ago so their Bandcamp page tells me, and have one album in their catalog, 2022’s self-titled. Normally I’m not overly excited […]

In her second straight year of attendance at the Sweden Rock Festival, Krysti “Kryfar” Farham remarks on her top five band performances of the event. Def Leppard What can I say here?

This year at Sweden Rock, there were fewer bands on the bill than usual that I was excited about! Sometimes it goes that way and TBH, that’s totally fine. It gives me a chance to mingle with friends old and new a little more as I’m not running from stage to stage trying to catch […]
Once again continuing our SRF series of “🇨🇦 in the crowd watching 🇨🇦 on stage”, we assembled on the barrier for Coney Hatch. Now, while I’ve seen the guys a few times and in different countries, it’s been a little while. I wondered how the band would be received by this large Swedish festival crowd. […]
