Johan Johansson

Johan Johansson has already established at least three different careers: as singer in another of Sweden’s most well-known punk bands, as producer of punk and singer/songwriter artists, and in the ’90s being a singer/songwriter himself. Among, he in addition has tried other styles — like ’80s pop — occasionally to important acclaim but without achieving a big market. Most important is most likely his period in KSMB, a music group that fought with Ebba Grön over getting Sweden’s most well-known punk music group in the first ’80s. Ebba Grön are generally seen as even more innovative, but around 1980, KSMB drew crowds just like big using their singalong-friendly and poppy punk rock and roll. As a manufacturer, Johansson helped essential contemporary vocalist/songwriters such as for example Stefan Sundström and Lars Winnerbäck, aswell as punk functions like De Lyckliga Kompisarna, in to the limelight. His own impact like a vocalist/songwriter continues to be smaller sized, though he required part in several tours through the ’90s that designated a revival from the Swedish vocalist/songwriter picture. When going to communal music college, Johan Johansson created the 14-guy college, and supposedly punk, music group Skärholmens Gymnasiums Punk-Ensemble. To no big shock, they split up after their 1st gig, however the remnants created in to the punk music group KSMB. After two rather unorganized years, the music group settled on the establishing with three performers, gained a agreement, and started a rigorous amount of touring, enduring pretty much until the music group split up in 1982. But until after that, they had documented three very unequal albums and experienced become among the two most well-known punk rings in Sweden. Johansson remaining a couple of months prior to the split-up and created Strindbergs with Janne Borgh. This task was much less effective than KSMB, however the duo released three British-influenced pop albums before pressure between Borgh and Johansson grew as well strong as well as the second option was sacked in 1985. Johansson after that played for two weeks with Stockholms Negrer before developing a music group known as John Lennon. Sensibly enough, they transformed the name to John Lenin with time for the first recording launch, in order to avoid a lawsuit. The music group gained a status as an excellent live take action, but split up before liberating any longer albums, and Johansson began to concentrate even more on the specialized aspect of music, functioning being a audio technician for, amongst others, Stefan Sundström. Through the past due ’80s and early ’90s, Johansson didn’t discharge any albums, but come up with several punk compilations, proved helpful as program musician and manufacturer, toured with close friends, and played little acoustic sets by himself, until he made a decision to discharge his single debut, Flum, in 1993. The arriving years noticed a revival for Johan Johansson as an musician, but this time around he was seen as a vocalist/songwriter rather than punk or pop vocalist. Appropriately, he toured as well as Lars Demian and Stefan Sundström and performed at vocalist/songwriter celebrations around Sweden. An EP with addresses of Sparks tunes premiered in 1994 another recording, …Och Hans Lilla Svarta Värld, in 1996. Johansson continuing to are a maker, but also toured with numerous constellations through the entire ’90s. Most interest and essential acclaim was granted Skurkarna, a short-term constellation comprising Johansson, Stefan Sundström, Karin Renberg, Kjell Höglund, and Lars Winnerbäck. KSMB, the music group that had initial brought Johansson in to the limelight, also reunited in the ’90s, but Johansson refused to take part. In the 2000s, he released the compilation Sånger ur Trähatten 1982-2000 and a live record entitled Ett Kompledigt Liv, that was documented at Nalen in Stockholm in Oct 2005, aswell as two albums as short-term bass participant for the glam rock and roll revivalists Diamond Canines, while continuing to create and usually collaborate with various other artists. The single record Svea Rike Rivjärn made an appearance in 2011.
