Kurres Kapell hailed from Boliden, a
northern town known for its mining industry. They had connections
with the Social Democratic youth organisation SSU, and their sole
album was released accordingly through the party's own label A Disc.
The music is well crafted and muscular, much thanks to the heavy
guitar solos and riffing courtesy of the three in-house guitarists,
why ”Kurres Kapell” might have a limited appeal to fans of (semi)
hard rock. Both the male and female vocals are weak however and don't quite match the
musical backdrop.
The most interesting tracks are ”Teve” which relies a bit more on groove than heaviness, and the instrumental ”Semestervecka i Brutorp”, the most progressive track on the album, but neither of them manages to rise above the 'mediocre' mark.

Kurres Kapell released one further disc
in 1985, a 45 with two songs from a stage play.
