A blues based band featuring musicians that would later go to other bands such as neo-garage rockers The Maryland Cookies and a reformed Solen Skiner. Peds Pol's only album was engineered by ex-Tempelrock guitarist Sten Tempelman.
I say ”blues based”, because Peds Pol wasn't an all out blues band. Judging by opening track ”Hungry Boogie”, they did count John Mayall among their influences, but there's a bit of straightforward pop rock here, as well as indistinct heartland rock. The most progg tinged tracks are ”Dimman” with a sort of Grateful Dead inspired ending, the ballad ”Kvinna i svart” and the jam soaked title track that ends the album. Overlong at 15 minutes, but still the best moment with some pseudo-psychedelic moves that would have livened up the entire album had they dared to show them more often.
