Francis – Birds down south
Francis originate from the darkest woods of Sweden. The band has been around since 2006 and have recently released their first single “Bad to the Bone” on the Swedish label Gravitation. The bands live perfomance has been descibed as an unleashed Tasmanian Devil singing heartbreaking gospelsongs.

Doris Days – To Ulrike M. (Zero 7 Mix)
As children of small-town Linkoping, Sweden, the members of Doris Days had their first joint musical experiences in 1989.
Ulrike Marie Meinhof was a German left-wing militant. She co-founded the Red Army Faction (Rote Armee Fraktion) in 1970 after having previously worked as a journalist for the monthly left-wing magazine Konkret. She was arrested in 1972, and eventually charged with numerous murders and the formation of a criminal association. Before the trial concluded, Meinhof died in her cell in 1976.
Electronica act Doris Days created a track entitled To Ulrike M., in which there is a passage spoken in German throughout the song, presumably an archived audio file from Ulrike Meinhof herself. This track has since been remixed by other electronica acts like Zero 7, Kruder & Dorfmeister, and The Amalgamation Of Soundz.
