· By Mattias Forsgren
Det var länge sedan NoIcE var så här aktuella. De har senaste veckorna spelat både på Lotta på Liseberg och Nyhetsmorgon. I slutet på september kommer nya albumet Gustavsberg (det första med nya låtar sedan 1995) som CD, LP och digitalt på Icons Creating Evil Art, och följs av en stor konserthusturné (28 datum!). Bara för något år sedan gick dokumentären om bandet på SVT med över en miljon tittare. Musikalen som följde har setts av 25 000 besökare, och det var i och med den som Charlie Grönvall närmade sig bandet som frontfigur och nu fullvärdig medlem. Som son till Nanne och Peter Grönvall och barnbarn till Benny Andersson är det ingen överdrift att Charlie Grönvall föddes in i musiken. Med en...

· By Mattias Forsgren
Enigmatic and alluring, Bonander released her visionary debut album, 'Things We Don’t Talk About' through Icons Creating Evil Art on 20th August 2021.
