We are extremly happy to announce that we can offer you our debut album LIGHTS on a format we’ve been using since we grew up. The vinyl version of this album is nothing fancy. It’s just going to acitvate you a bit more. This one does not flip itself, does not have any extra bonus tracks nor connects your twitter to you facebook. It’s just a taste of what we did a couple of years ago. Talking about growing. Since we’ve released this album the first time (MY FAVOURITE TOY -06) we’ve been touring europe a dozen times, released an EP called VULTURES (CUT N’ PASTE -06) and released our second fullengthalbum SEQUENCE THE SEQUENCE (I MADE THIS -08). Currently we’re recording a new album. Hopefully it will be out in spring 2010. A big thank you goes out to MAIK and the rest on Apocaplexy, Not Another Recordlabel and Superflous Records.

UNCLE SALLY'S
This sounds like a marriage of anger and melancholoy. Hardcore between aggression and depression. Nice work!

WASTE OF MIND (7/10)
These guys convince people with a colorful mixture of styles. It's been a
while since a band delivered such diverse and atmospheric Destructo
Indiecore!

FOMP (3/4)
This band sound like Refused going in the studio to play Snapcase songs in Alternative Rock versions. "Lights" is a real earcatcher!

ALLSCHOOLS.DE
This is something between Noisecore, Indierock, Chaos and Screamo and places itself next to gods like Refused and Breach. A must-have for fans of the Blood Brothers and old JR Ewing.

SOUTHSPACE (9/10)
This goes straight from a Swedish rehearsal room into a padded cell. A brutal missile aiming at the nerve cords of the listeners. For everybody who thinks the Blood Brothers wimped out with their last releases.

Hey.
Today we finnished recording the basic on the second guitar.
But it all started crazy...

On friday we went to see the Jesus Lizard show,  that was probably the best show i'll see in stockholm this year. Also at the show was andreas from alarma man, and after the show he forced me to a place called Kellys, if you live in stockholm you don't go there on a weekend. People wear leather pants and sing along to Bon Jovi.
Anyway, andreas is from gothenburg so you can't blame the guy, the beer is half price all night long. We got home quite late and i almost missed the morning bus to eskilstuna trying to wake andreas up, i had to leave him on my coutch and later that morning i got a call from victor (who was going to drive back to gothenburg with andreas) and he was asking where andreas was, i don't know if they are in gothenburg now or if andreas is still asleep on my coutch.

I got about 4 hours of sleep that night and the busride was a pain in the ass.
But when i got to eskilstuna me and marcus was productive as hell.
We got all the stuff from our rehearsal place, tried some different guitars, set the sound and recorded 4 songs before the sun was down and that must be some kind of personal record.

Today we got started a bit late since i had to make up for lack of sleep from friday night, just as yesterday we worked really hard and go the last 5 songs on tape.
Even if we only recorded the basics to all songs i think we'll finnish my session quite fast.

Tomorrow we'll continue with all the fun stuff, like big muffs and such.

It all sounds great and marcus is doing the best job ever.

Good night and check back later for more reports!

Today we will start to record some guitar.
It will be fun, but I don't feel very well today.
Maby it's the Swineflu that has reached my body.
Then all my guitars will have a touch of disease.
You..'ll get sick listening to them;-P.
See you in Hell!

I guess you could say that we are on kind of a break from the recording process since we all have different stuff on our agendas att the moment. Not much has happened since I payed my dues behind the drums but soon the big toms won..t be alone anymore.

I actually don..t have much to say right now more than that we are alive and well and while doing that I took the oppurtunity of posting one of my holiday pictures.

That..s all for now, talk to you soon!

”How to write a blog and generally suck while writing a blog”. Or just ”How to not write a blog”. The possible headlines for an essay or article on this subject are numerous. It was indeed my idea that each one of us should write in the blog while we where putting our efforts and musical skills into the new grandious punk-rock-post-hardcore-indie/gubb-rock-thing that eventually will become our new album. Last week it was time for me to put the drums on tape (actually computer) and while doing that keep you updated through this channel of information we call the Traktor blog. I had two things written in my calendar and I fatally failed at one of the two points. I did play the drums all week, I did not blog. 50% success. 50 % failure. So, what did he actually do last week? You might wonder. The answer is that I played the drums. Sometimes with great result and sometimes it didn..t go my way at all. We also drank loads of cans of the Red bull replica Red bat, ate some really good food, had a couple of ice-creams and a great bunch of laughs. After a great deal of sweating and cursing we got the drums down and now it..s time for the rest of the guys to put their magic on tape (once again: computer). Next up is Mr David Deravian.

So, what will the new Traktor plastic/download sound like?
That..s a good question. Once upon a time our label mates Soviac described an upcoming release with the words ”Mature songs” and i guess those words would fit our new record too. Most of the songs are a bit slower and longer and with more guitar harmonies in all directions. In the end I think it will sound very Traktor, don..t worry.

Right now I..m relaxing in my grandfathers summer house and have to go to the nearest town to get get an internet connection. Otherwise I could have been jabbering with you much more.

I wrote this in english to make it up to you non-swedes that might  have slipped in here.

We just did the last rehearsal with the whole band before we'll start to record.
Rickard will start with the drums on sunday.
The rest of us really have to practice at home.

ENJOY!

we have just started to record our new album

Hi.
We're really sad to announce that the tour is cancelled.
Heroes and Zeros van broke down and they will have to cancell the first 3 shows of the tour and since we're just support we wont make it financially just doing the last 3 shows.

We where really looking forward to this but shit happens.

Next tour will be in may 2010. Hopefully you'll make it til then.
