Bildquelle: The Lance - Schauen harmlos aus, sind aber "richtig" unartige Rock'n'Roll Finger

Bei all den gecasteten SängerInnen und Bands neuerdings im Musikbusiness sind MusikerInnen, die Ihre Songs selber schreiben und es geschafft haben einen einzigartigen unverwechselbaren Sound für sich zu kreieren fast schon Raritäten oder Geheimtipps. The Lance, eine Band aus Borlänge, Schweden, zählt mittlerweile in Online-Kreisen zu einem Geheimtipp was unverfälschten Rock’n’Roll anbetrifft. Da sie nicht nur “richtig” gut aussehen, sondern auch “richtig” Musik machen, ist es natürlich interessant was das Quartett sich bei den Songs, die startblatt seit einigen Tagen eine völlig neue Atmosphäre verleihen gedacht haben. Ja, meine Userinnen und User, die denken sich tatsächlich was, wenn sie was schreiben!!!

Yes I Do

Olle: Yes I Do is a pretty old song and its just a simple song of desperation. Easy in, easy out.
Gustav: I have a kind of love/hate relationship to that song.
Micke: Yes I Do is right in your face.
Dan: It gets harder every time I try to play the damn thing. Yes I Do is like a ghost.

I Wanna Dress Up In Blue

Olle: Is a song I wrote on the drunk and well…it’s a drinking song.
Gustav: I Wanna Dress Up In Blue is simply pure rock n roll. A damn good song!
Micke: It blows my mind. A great drinking song.
Dan: I´ve always liked that one and its fabulous to do live.

Late Night Lights

Olle: My own little child of tragedy…
Gustav: Good riff!
Micke: Late night lights reminds me a bit of an orgasm.
Dan: I get to swing the sticks and im happy with that.

Oh Danny Boy

Olle: Me and Micke wrote the music to that one and I put the lyrics to it. Oh Danny boy is an ode to our drummer.
Gustav: It´s a blast to do it live cause I love to sing it.
Micke: I particulary like the beat and the rhythm in it. After all its Dans song.
Dan: A blasting song to do live and it makes my fingers tickle.

Four Jokers Dressed In Leather Shoes

Olle: Basically it´s a monologue chronicle about it all.
Gustav: It has a good swing and its very well written.
Micke: It´s just rolling on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever…
Dan: It´s like riding a train. You just can´t get off before it stops.

Beat You Blue

Olle: Im happy I wrote that song. Anyone who wrote that song would be happy. Lyrically one of my favourites.
Gustav: It´s a bit different compared to our other songs which is good.
Micke: I like the bass in the chorus and of course the marvelous lyrics.
Dan: It´s absolutely one of the songs I like to do live best.

She´s Dressed In Black

Olle: On that one we really found THE sound. It was hiding under a little hat.
Gustav: It’s the song on which we managed to get the best sound we´ve ever had.
Micke: Simply a timeless work of art.
Dan: What can I say? ROCK N ROLL.

Down In The Alley

Olle: We all want to be missed when we´re gone right?
Gustav: Kiss me quicker.
Micke: Indeed a great beer drinking song.
Dan: When the audience have been drinking to much I love to play this one.

Vicious Woman

Olle: Mean, magnificent and rock n roll.
Gustav: It´s more vicious than a vicious woman.
Micke: It´s a punch right in the face. Mean and heavy.
Dan: A raw bluesy kind of song. It´s more punk than punk.
