18th Dye
German/Danish trio based in Berlin and releasing 3 album for Cloudland from 92-95. Hard, minimalistic and beautiful. A very speciel band. Drummer Piet Breinholm Bendtsen has later on played with Norlund and Rhonda Harris and has a semi-electronic duo with Dye-guitarist and singer Sebastian
Büttrich.

Crunchy Frog
The finest in Danish and Swedish indie pop and rock.

Death Tothe
The old name of the Danish band, who changed their name to Tothe International. One of the most weird and entertaining bands - not only on Crunchy Frog - but on the entire European rock scene. The inspirations are many and varied. Names such as Butthole Surfers, Beck, The Residents and Tom Waits say more about the approach than about how the music sounds. The band mix excellent pop songs with all...

Düreförsög
The name is a misspelling of the Danish word for scientific experiments on
animals such as guinea pigs. And they operate in a similar way on music,
dissecting it and putting the music together again in much mutated forms. The
peculiar brand of music devised by Düreforsög defies definition, and PolkaPunk
may be as apt a definition as any other. They thrive on lashing bursts of
frantic energy...

First Floor Power
Swedish indie-rock from the tight group FFP. Arty and
intelligent, but never high brow and boring. Good music - as simple as that.
|

Heavy Trash
Matt Verta Ray and Jon Spencer.

 |
Junior Senior
Copenhagen underground superstars from the distinguished
Crunchy Frog label. The duo create high octane party fueled indie rock with
groovy beats and energetic rap (Run DMC-style). On top of this: great samples
and catchy melodies. Inspired by old garage rock, hip hop, soul, disco, electric
boogie and pop they have a tendency to charm all listeners
instantly.

Kim and the Cinders

Komeda
Ultra cool band from Umeå, Sweden. Central part of the
North Swedish scene also including Ray Wonder and Dr. Kosmos. Pop of high
quality, energy and intelligence!

Lars And the Hands of Light
|
 |
Learning from Las Vegas
Though the band has got a more
traditional than experimental approach to song writing they are far from
mainstream. Intelligent noise pop could perhaps be an appropriate label of
Learning from Las Vegas - perhaps not!

Malpractice

Mew
Danish quartet excelling in catchy tunes, high pitched
vocals and great arrangements.
|
 |
Mopeds, The
A Swedish trio with a great pop/rock sound and a bunch of high class catchy and
wretched pop tunes. Originally intended as a musical collective between two brothers
and a friend, The Mopeds first got together in 1994 and recorded a handful
of demos without leaving their own bedrooms. Fun was all that mattered rather
than making a career out of their music. But The Mopeds grew tighter and started...

Naked
Noisy, beautiful and melancholy boys from CPH,
Denmark. A pretty influential band on the 90es indie scene although they never
gained a big following, they sure had lots of fans among
musicians.
|
 |
PowerSolo
Formed in 1996. In the beginning the only member was Kim
'Kix' Jeppesen who recorded about 50 songs in the period between 1996-98. With
rolemodels such as Hazil "haze" Adkins, Johnny Cash, Bo Diddley, Carl Perkins,
Legendary Stardust Cowboy, Link Wray, The Meteors, the Cramps and Kim Kix's deep
roots in rockabilly, he adapted the raw and simple expression. In
98' joined Kim's...

Raveonettes, the
The Raveonettes is the alias of Mr. Sune Wagner and Miss

Sharin is unknown to most, but a nice acquaintance for sure!

Superheroes
The band that will save Danish pop music. With lead
singer Thomas Troelsen in front this band is made for greatness! Not just for
dancing!
|
 |
Thau
An off-kilter interpretation of American indie rock. Copenhagen based THAU
make incredible, great, bittersweet, skewed guitar rock in the Pavement and Yo
La Tengo family.

Thee Attacks
|
 |
Tothe International
Fun & catchy Danish off-beat indie rock. One of the most weird and entertaining band not only of Crunchy Frog but the entire
european rock scene. The band mix excellent pop songs with all possible genres
and strange instruments (toys, bullhorn, theremin, jingle bells and accordion).
|
 |
Tremolo Beer Gut, The
This band features some pretty famous people on the
Danish rock scene, but all you people abroad wont care so lets just leave it at
that. The Tremolo Beer Gut plays old school surf and are able to squeeze some
originality out of this worn out genre by adding some cool spaghetti western sounds. These boys dig
the movies scores of John Barry and Henry Mancini, the surf and twang of the
50es...

Wolfkin
Wolfkin is a new duo from Copenhagen. The music conjures strong images. Half organic, half electronic. The sounds of analogue keyboards from the 80s; soundtracks from the 70'es; psychedelic references from the 60s and decadent pop melodies from all ages - combined with layered and somewhat disturbing lyrics where beauty shows itself as a cover for a stirring undertone of luring darkness.
