Viking Wreckchords

“Burning Desks” is the album that Lars and I have wanted to write for at least two decades. We couldn’t have done it without the immense musical talent and creative contribution of Jonny Paw and Francis. Last but not least, a huge thank you goes to Adam Schwarz, who acted both as studio engineer and – together with Lars – as co-producer.” (Kent Nielsen)

Mid-tempo Punk Rock tunes bursting with hook lines, melody and songwriting chops. THAT is what you can expect from the newest old band from Denmark. For scenesters and music fans, the four-piece are old acquaintances, all with decades of stage experience. Musicians who have now come together again, letting their craftsmanship do the talking. They know what they want and where their music is headed.

Joszi wrote the song a year ago, two months after Putin started the war against Ukraine and when it slowly became clear that it would last a very long time. Now the production of this song and then the video also took a very long time – but Russia is still at war with Ukraine. And unfortunately we have the impression that people in Germany are getting more and more used to it after the initial horror. Hence this video. “As a songwriter, I want to make a small contribution to not accepting this war as “normal”, but to perceive it for what it is: a crime against humanity and against peaceful coexistence in Europe.” Feat. Ingrid Gößmann on harmonica, Helge Lamm on whistle and Kent Nielsen and Totti Scharfenberg from Ukes Of Tomorrow on ukulele and mandolin.

UKES OF TOMORROW – new album „Seconds Of Our Lives“
Cranking the volume up to 11 isn’t hard to do. Ukes of Tomorrow pull the plug and offer a different kind of “acoustic evening”. But, although people will be stunned at their interpretations of classics by; The Jam, Joy Division or Sisters Of Mercy, the duo is now increasingly digging for deeper and not quite so obvious tracks from the back catalogues of; TV Smith, Big Country, Bob Mould, Joe Strummer, The Pogues, Kalashnikov, The Damned or The Descendents – to name just a few. Completed by funny anecdotes about the songs, the odd folk tune or a nod towards their beloved Grunge era by way of Temple Of The Dog for instance.

‘How I didn’t turn out a dancer’ is the story of the Danish Punk & Hardcore scene during the years 1978-1988, as seen through the eyes of Kent. A story about almost boundless creativity, rebelling, violence, addiction and growing up the hard way. In 1980 Kent Nielsen, then in high school, was looking for a cure for small town traumas. Seeking refuge in the nearby Danish city of Odense, Kent soon found himself a new home in the growing local punk rock community, singing and performing with various punk and no wave bands. In 1985 he joined the Danish hardcore band L.U.L.L., who released two critically acclaimed albums during the late 80s, which helped define the sound of European Hardcore. Kent experienced 10 years that shaped him forever, the way it shaped all the kids who were part of this Punk and squatters scene. It’s amazing how many bands, fanzines, shows and happenings were coming out of this small, and apparently oh so cozy, country.
