Scandinavians may be awesome, but they also tend to tread a thin line between charming idiosyncrasy and outright ludicrousness. For example, The Good, The Bad had a fantastic sound, really energetic with stellar riffs but their efforts to look and act cool made them look, as one observer put it, a bit like sex pests. Ungdomskulen on the other hand had no truck with anything approaching “cool”, embracing their intrinsic ridiculousness with obvious pride. Whilst the dazzling percussion of “Modern Drummer” established their musical credentials, it was the infectiously anthemic “Spartacus” that confirmed them as a band definitely worth your time.
