Swedish History Through Punk

Anders Bjarby

Two foul-mouthed British punks have broken into a cabin outside Kiruna, wired into a stolen radio mast, and started broadcasting. Between blasts of raucous punk, Gaz and Degsy stagger through real Swedish history — the Stockholm Bloodbath, Nils Dacke's uprising, the warship that sank in a puddle — getting the drinking and the details gloriously out of hand, yet somehow keeping the facts straight. Pirate Radio Kiruna: history lessons you didn't ask for, at a volume you can't ignore.
