ROCKVINDAR – Första gången (MNW, 1980)


 Swedish vocals
International relevance: *

Really bad album most notable for featuring Thorsten Flinck on vocals (and his twin brother Richard on bass). Thorsten Flinck later became widely famous and infamous as a talented actor and a madman in equal parts.

”Första gången” appeared one year after Rockvindar's self-released debut single ”På lörda e're fest hos Catrin” with a cover of Nationalteatern's ”Barn av vår tid” on the flipside. While the band came from Stockholm, they sound a bit like an updated version of Northeners Rekyl. The release date means there are elements of punk and ska with best (or least bad) song ”Flum-rock” being the closest to progg.

They had another 45 out in 1982, this time on Metronome, before disbanding some time later. Thorsten Flinck has also released a couple of solo albums.
