The Swedish Magazines – Melbourne punk rock’n’roll greats who took their name from Iggy, hit a mark sonically somewhere between AC/DC and the Sex Pistols, and who filled the breach between the Powder Monkeys and Amyl & The Sniffers – return from a decade long near-slumber to release their first ‘Best of’, and their first-ever LP vinyl release, I Wish Life Could Be…. which is out on November 19.
They have just announced a run of album launches in Victoria and NSW, and shared a laugh-a-minute chat between main Swede Van Walker and Melbourne-based rock writer (and author of an upcoming Spencer P Jones biography) Patrick Emery.
I Wish Life Could Be.. is the first time the Swedes songs will be available on wax and is now available to pre-order via the Rubber Records website, alongside the Deluxe CD featuring 5 exclusive tracks from PBS sessions in 2005.
