Melbourne punk rock’n’roll greats, The Swedish Magazines, 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….
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. Check it out below the dates.
