Alpha Safari "Comercial Suicide" 2004

"Hi RYP. Dunno if this is quite your cup of tea, but... I find this sound to be somewhat close to early Nirvana (yea, 90's hit band, not the real 60's acid scorcher) meets Shellac meets Helmet meets early Stone Temple Pilots. So you could expect something quite different from these guys, but still, this is worth of giving it a try." - SuicidekinGThe story of Alpha Safari started when lead vocalist Patrik Wiréns previous band Misery Loves Co split up in the year 2000. Together with Entombed guitarist Ufo Cederlund and the rhythm section of Patrik Thorngren (bass) and Olle Dahlstedt (drums) the four of them began playing together as Washoe and soon did a few shows in the Stockholm area. Their first demo, with songs like "Björklinge" and "It wasn't designed for us", spawned great reviews from the most conservative of rock & indie critics before the band changed their name to Alpha Safari. Their debut, "Commercial Suicide", will be released August 18 (2004) in Scandinavia. USA and Europe will follow shortly after. - From "Threeman" label webpage (i added 2004, since this was not released elsewhere...)Line-Up:
