(Tiger Forest Cat, Honungsvägen, Frida Selander)
This is how the band present themselves:
Let's start from the beginning. Well, almost at least. We are a band. We hail from the more isolated parts of northern Sweden. We played in bands before, and we've played together much longer than this new moniker. We are 5 friends that dabble in post-punk/dystopic pop or some brand of alternative rock music. We did a couple of records in our native tounge under the name of Invasionen but when we decided to take this globally, we felt that a change in language and a new name would be in place. Welcome to our world, we really hope that you do enjoy it as much as we do.
