  Just curious, any of you a fan of a band from Sweden called Kent? They've been around a while, are rather unknown in the US, but are one of my absolute favorite bands. I hardly ever find anyone who knows who they are.

  I think you meant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken…) heh

  And, no, haven't heard of them yet. I like Millionaire from Belgium once in a while, though. Found out about them 'cause I like QOTSA.

  • D'oh. Link breaks with QBN abbreviation.– dog_opus

  any band that just does a preview of a song on myspace can seriously go to hell

  • Doesn't get me that upset, but yeah, they kind of do themselves a disservice, I'd say.– dog_opus1/3

    There is no reason to only offer a preview of a song. None whatsoever.– OnesandZeros2/3

    people can download songs off of players if they try hard enough– GORADIO3/3

  Anyhow... notice how my original post said "any fans of this band" and not "listen to this band you've never heard of that you might hate..."

  i actually started to listen to them since i move to the states. i wouldn't say i am a fan, but they got a few good songs.

  by the way, they seam to make what ever they want. and not what the record company tell them to. (its a good thing)

  Kent's not bad, but my taste (in Swedish bands) gears more toward Katatonia (http://www.last.fm/music/Katato……

  I actually like a lot more Finnish bands. Try Negative (http://www.last.fm/music/Negati…… you might like them.

  One of Scandinavia's best bands!

  Good old song:
  
  English version here, original Swedish version is better.

  cool, now this is where I hoped the thread would go. :)

  Yeah, I agree Jevad, last album was not so great. But Isoloa was one I got in college and I have always loved it. They have such great guitar tones and instrumentation. Hagnasta Hill is my favorite album. I've got everything they've put out, even that b-sides double album. Shame I've never seen them, I don't even know if they've ever played in the US.
