Fireside was already a band that cleverly threw indierock and electronic sounds together on albums like “Elite” and “Get Shot”. Drummer Per Nordmark is now doing something similar with his solo project Bad Hands on the album “Take The Money And Run”.
Nordmark wrote a collection of songs in the fine Swedish tradition of making a sound rock while being catchy as hell and then enlisted different vocalists for every single song. Not just anyone mind you but fine people like Nina Kinert, Nick Andersson (Entombed, Hellacopters), Howlin' Pelle, Linnea Jönsson (Those Dancing Days) and David Sandström (Refused). It makes for an album that might not be very coherent, but it still is a lot of fun to listen to. It will move you with some songs and make you move with others. For some reason I find Nordmark’s songs work best with the female vocalists (check out those first three cuts !) but then there’s « Kick You Out » with Howlin’ Pelle to fuck up that theory.
This won’t change your world but it will make things a lot more fun for a little more than 30 minutes.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
