KYLANS ROCKORKESTER – Välfärdsblues (Manifest, 1980)

International relevance: *
Swedish vocals

Kylans Rockorkester hailed from Umeå and came off like a little brother to Rekyl – they're even on the same level – with Kylans a little more towards Creedence Clearwater Revival than The Rolling Stones, and with a few more punk and/or new wave shadings than Rekyl. ”Välfärdsblues” was their first album and is forgettable. ”Inte bara vi” is decent compared to the other tracks but doesn't save the album.

They also had a couple of singles out, with the 'A' side of their second one ”I Lycksele finns ingen hundpsykolog” (1981) possibly being the best track they ever released. 1983 saw the release of their second album ”Kylans snapshot”. The original band split up in 1974 but a demo CD-R by a reunited Kylans Rockorkester was produced by Manifest in 2004.
