Among the numerous acts from Scandinavia drawing influence from the Pretty Things during the middle of the 1960s stood this obscure Swedish outfit. Almost nothing else is documented about the band, which managed to issue only a handful of singles across 1965 and 1966. Their sound blended raw rock and R&B performed exclusively in English, driven by raspy, lightly accented singing, brisk pacing, and loose, untamed guitar work, while nearly all of the material they captured on tape was self-penned.
