Long Long Showers


Long Long Showers, from Malmö in Sweden are a five piece band who got together in 2008 wondering how things would pan out. Petter Wennblom (Vocals), Tobias Magnusson (Bass), Kristofer Lilja (Guitar), Emil Jönsson (Drums) and Niklas Hegfalk (Guitar) and by the end of 2008 found themselves with 5 tracks prepared for an EP release – Meet His Murderer, the success of which, resulted in the band become more serious about their intentions. After some focused studio work they released their six track EPImagine The Image at the end of November.

With a variety of influences the vocals of Petter have the ring of Brian Ferry (Roxy Music) and the music is anchored in the early ’80s sounds of alternative rock. Clever use of the two guitars enable the band to switch between moods with real ease as they are paint the canvass framed by the catchy rhythm of Bass and Drum. Continual high octave guitar can often leave me feeling I am suffering a bout of tinnitus, Long Long Showers however manage to play at the top end of the guitar range utilising the two guitars to dramatic effect.

This is a band with hugely capable musicians who have managed to take the idea of playing for fun, recognize they have a sound which is effective and retained the infectious sound of their early material while adding a layer of control to the out-put. It is of no great surprise that they found themselves approached by a publishing company early this year.
