Well-deserved praise for Johan, our drummer


Some reviews

December 7th, 2009 | Erik | | Comments

To be honest, the silence isn’t complete. Here are some more reviews of the album:

Norrköpings Tidningar (4/5)

or Östgöta Correspondenten (same review as above, but with a picture!)

Upsala Nya Tidning (3/5)

Nerikes Allehanda (2/5)

And if you click on the tag “Visa kommentarer” in this blogpost from SVT:s PSL, you can read a very positive report from our gig in Malmö last Saturday:

“I ett rus av lycka”


The silence

December 4th, 2009 | Martin Hanberg | | Comments

Traditional media in Sweden haven’t really noticed Kommun at all. No articles, no reviews, no radio, no tv. There are some exceptions, though, mostly from the local newspapers in my old home town, Östersund:

Funny how the picture kills the headline
The first article about Kommun
Another work of Frida Johansson
A not so positive review from Skåne
The second review

Some new stuff from the so called blogosphere as well:

Popterror
Taste of pop


The ultimate guide to the Kommun people

December 2nd, 2009 | Martin Hanberg | | Comments

First off, let me remind you of this week’s concerts.

Thursday, 3 december: Göteborg, Jazzhuset, Svanen
Saturday, 5 december: Linköping, Skylten (w/ Makthaverskan)

Secondly, let me explain something. People often whine about how many musical projects we have and how hard it is to separate them. Humanity often surprises me. We are able to send people to, that’s right, the moon but it’s seems impossible for some of us to separate 5 pop groups. So, I will help you to do so with an ultimate guide.

Martin Hanberg (myself)
Kommun: singer, songwriter (yeah, I guess I’m one of them)
Sibiria: singer, songwriter
Vapnet: singer
Hospitalet: singer, songwriter

Martin Abrahamsson
Kommun: guitar, songwriter
Sibiria: guitar, songwriter
Vapnet: guitar, songwriter

Erik Laquist
Kommun: guitar, songwriter
Sibiria: guitar, songwriter
The Bedroom Singer: singer, songwriter

Now, that wasn’t too hard, was it?
