Everybody should own a Paganus album.

Dirty, non-fittig, tobacco chewing rock, in a just as unexpected as natural meeting with violin decorated natural romantics, have made Paganus one of Wermlands most easy-to-love bands. That, wich easily could have been a hard-rock festival templet, have been coloured with muddy wermlandic dialect; that which could have been pompous prog has instead been given the estetichs of rock.

Kalla has a more local radio hit list-feeling to it: as if they travelled from folk music towards hard rock and not the other way ‘round. Still just as truthful, convincing and true. 38 minutes where the angry poetic, wonderfully dialectal Johannes Soderqvist tell the establishment off from underneath, sideways, from the circumference, from the forest. Everybody should own a Paganus album – if not Kalla, then Skogsrock (from 07).
