Bio:

Band formed In 1992 and separated In 1996.First album from 1992 "Funk'd Rapt'n Trash'd" with vocalist Bobby Vargkvist.Second album "In Your Faceů first released in 1994 in Japan.Album "in Your Face" consisting of legendary ALIEN vocalist Pete Sandberg (Alien, Jade, Midnight Sun, Snake Charmer) and Dick Bewarp.The band includes also Dan T. Ekfeldt on bass, synthesizers & percussions and Rikard Dahl on drums.Dick Bewarp was guitarist in the Swedish band A-ha before he started his own group simply called Bewarp. The band released a mini cd, a 7” and two cds. The two cds has also been released in Japan but the European versions are re-mastered with a much better sound. Dick Bewarp has been the driving force behind the Swedish solo guitar competitions called ‘Guitar battle’ and he has also done a very rare guitar instruction video. Dick Bewarp was born in Stockholm and moved from Malmö almost two years ago, where he had been based for 30 years.In his 20s, he spent two years in Los Angeles, California, where music was all the rage. 'I moved there just to play the guitar, and enrolled at GIT, the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood, which played everything from jazz, blues and hard rock.'He played guitar in a couple of rock bands and tells how he took part in an audition to qualify for the then current competition behind the Black Sabbath mogul himself, Ozzy Osbourne, who was looking for a lead guitarist.I rehearsed with Osbourne for a week.Dick's role models in Los Angeles, whom he met, were Yngwie Malmsteen and Van Halen, with whom he tried to qualify in the same division.I tried to be as fast as Yngwie.Maybe it didn't go as well as I hoped, so I went home and started my own band in Malmö, Bewarp, which released two albums in Japan and Germany.We didn't have a hit and didn't make any money, but we made a music video that was broadcast on MTV a couple of times.The video production was apparently so good that Dick Bewarp began to be in demand as a music video producer with his own company Radikalfilm AB.

Album:

The band's first album, released in 1992, features funk elements reminiscent of EXTREME, which is not typical for a Scandinavian band, and is also a good example of the band's originality.The band's guitarist, Dick Bewerp's technical playing is also a highlight of the album.Great debut album..it s a very nice surprise cause this cd is a little special with a delicious funky touch.this band is talented and very eccentric.i like that .track 4 "upside down" is a brilliant cover of an exceptional disco s hit.i remember my youth.i can add that riffs and guitar s solos are excellent.Going Crazy is an excellent rock song.Perfect opener.Nothing funky about it. Just pure melodic rock.Excellent vocalist.Rock it Over another nice paced rock song.

Pete Sandberg

Pete was born in Oslo, Norway, in the summer of 1967. He has two older brothers and a twin sister.In his youth he loved sports, especially soccer,"I used to collect photos of all the teams and players, my favorite team was Queens Park Rangers, and my favorite player was Kevin Keegan".When Pete was 13 years old, he and his family moved to Sweden. Not much later he joined a band at school and it completely took over all of his previous interests. Pete became totally hooked when he read Bob Dylan's brilliant lyrics, and when he heard Jimi Hendrix he knew that music was what he wanted to do! He tried to concentrate on school like all the other kids, but all that meant something was the music. Pete started his first band called "Rubbish Bin" at the age of 14, "we played classic AC/DC songs such as "The Jack", "Rock 'n' Roller" etc, it was a great time". He quickly realized that his voice was more suitable for melodic rock, so he started to listen to a lot of AOR .Pete signed his first recorddeal with bassplayer Magnus Rosén as the duo "Von Rosen" back in 1986. The debutsingle "Like A Dream" , produced by Mats Olausson , was a great experience for this still very young man with rockstar dreams. Von Rosen even got around to do a tour as supporting act for Samantha Fox, who was HUGE back then, Pete remembers the whole experience as "an incredible time in my life when all was new and exciting". During his time with Von Rosen Pete got to know Göran Edman , who at that time was the singer in Madison. Since Pete lived in the same town as Göran, Gothenburg, they became friends and Pete invited Göran to do some harmony vocals on Von Rosen's 2nd single "Someone Like You" .When Göran decided to leave Madison to join John Norum he told the guys in the band to check Pete out, they watched one of his gigs and offered him the job. The recordcompany wanted Madison to record a single as soon as possible, because they were scheduled to do a tour as supporting act for the Canadian band Helix. Madison went to Norway and recorded the single "Northern Light" , "it was heavier than the Von Rosen stuff, but it came out pretty good, and the Helix-tour too". Madison had already recorded demos for all the songs for their 3rd album, with the workingtitle "Where There Is A Will", but…One night when Pete was playing with Andy La Rocque , Pete Blakk , and Hempo Hildén , guitarplayer Tony Borg of Alien and this English speaking guy came backstage afterwards to have some drinks and a laugh, or so Pete thought. The guy in question was Alien's manager Steve Barnett , he asked Pete if he was interested in joining Alien, later that night Pete decided to do so.Alien's selftitled debutalbum was already released, but Pete recorded two additional tracks for the release of the US version of "Alien" . The album was produced by Chris Minto , and the vocals was produced by Duane Byron . Alien went to the USA to do some extensive promotion, and to make a video for "Tears Don't Put Out The Fire" with producer Doug Freel . The video came out great, Pete remembers that: "it felt pretty strange since I only sang on two tracks on the US version of the album, but it worked out well. The video - which was very expensive to make - was oddly enough never released officially, a well kept secret in the Virgin archives".When Alien was about to record the next album, "Shiftin' Gear" , all members but Tony and Pete had quit the band, they decided to do the album as a duo. Once again Göran Edman was asked to do some harmony vocals on a bunch of songs, "I love his voice, and he's a great guy". The album was produced by Svein Dag Hauge , they also recorded some additional singles in England at Town House Studios - owned by Phil Collins - with producer Mark Dearnly . A video was made for the single "The Air That I Breathe".On the Shiftin' Gear-tour the drummers mother tragically died in an accident and the whole tour got a bad vibe to it, and on top of that Alien had some difficulties with their recordcompany. They wanted Alien to tour Russia but Alien didn't have an album released there yet, and the security was very bad at that time so Pete refused to go. Tony insisted on going so Pete finally chose to quit the band, "I and Tony parted as friends, he’s a great guy and guitarplayer and we still have contact". After that Pete decided to move to the USA for a while and worked at Empire Studios in Burbank, California, as a songwriter/singer with guitarwizard John Tapella.Not much later Magnus Rosén called Pete up and invited him over to jam with some friends of his: Anders Johansson , Jörg Fischer and John Sykes . Anders was working with John on demos for Blue Murders 2nd album for Geffen Records, but Anders had heard some of Pete's earlier stuff and wanted to work with him instead, "Goodnight L.A." featuring Pete, Anders, Magnus and Jörg was formed. They recorded some demos, but the material didn't come out as good as they wanted to, so they decided to do a "covertour" while writing new material. Everybody was up for it except Magnus, who got a gig with Frank Marino's Mahogany Rush, Anders called bassplayer Per Stadin, fellow bandmember in Silver Mountain. The guys did an excellent European tour as "Coverboys", playing songs from their former bands Alien, Accept, Malmsteen and Silver Mountain, plus songs from their "old heroes" like Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple and Whitesnake.Per and Pete wrote a lot of material at hotels and on the tourbus during the Coverboys-tour, it came out great so they decided to make an album together. Jörg wasn't up for it because he had some tax difficulties back in Germany, and wanted to record with his own project "Billionaires Boys Club". Instead they called this young great guitarplayer from Sweden, Sven Cirnski , and the band "Snake Charmer" was formed. They released their debutalbum "Smoke And Mirrors" in 1993, the band was voted #1 in respected Japanese "BURRN! Magazine" May issue that same year.While in Canada on vacation with his wife, Pete went to this club to check out some bands, an amazing guitarplayer made a big impression on Pete. Pete introduced himself after the gig, and the guy - Dick Bewarp - turned out to be from Sweden as well, Dick was only visiting his Canadian father. They hit it off immediately and decided to do something together, Dick had already done one album with his band "Bewarp". They started writing songs for "In Your Face" shortly after they met, they wrote the songs in the studio while recording, Pete had never worked that way before, but found it "different but very refreshing". Besides playing in Bewarp Dick also held guitarseminars and directed musicvideos, Bewarp made three videos to promote "In Your Face": "Child's Play", "Love Me Or Leave Me" and "Wild Side".Pete started writing songs for his 1st soloalbum and then hooked up with Björn Dahlberg at MRC Studios to record some demos, the demos got him signed immediately. A wide range of musicians was used during the songwriting and recording of Pete's 1st soloalbum, in order to get each and every song just right. When workaholic Pete had some spare time he recorded an album with bassplayer extraordinaire Jonas Reingold , the duo "Sand & Gold" released their critically much acclaimed debutalbum "Remember My Name" in 1997. Kee Marcello made a guestappearance and played some really kicking guitars, an excellent video was shot for the single "Remember My Name".Both Jonas and Pete were involved in other projects, but eventually became very good friends and wanted to start a band that they could put all their energy into. Midnight Sun was originally formed in the summer of 1996, they released their debutalbum "Another World" in 1997. The follow-up "Above & Beyond", featuring guestmusicians John Norum and Hempo Hildén, was released a year later. After the release of their 3rd album "Nemesis" in 1999 Pete felt that it was time to move on and left the band saying: "my departure with Midnight Sun felt natural for me and everyone involved, I wish Midnight Sun all the best because they are truly a great bunch of guys".When Pete started to lay down the first tracks for "Back In Business" he realized that he always had wanted to make soloalbums, "it's a great feeling to know that so many talented musicians wants to work with you, it's a real kick and it pushes me to get better as well!". Pete worked very closely with his good friend Sven Cirnski on his 2nd soloalbum "Push" , that's why he - more or less - came to use the entire band Bad Habit on the album. Videos was shot for the songs "Little Lover" and "Babe".While hanging out in Copenhagen, Denmark, Pete and a friend, Ken Hamer from Pretty Maids, got around to see a band - Jade - who was playing Rainbow, Boston and Whitesnake covers. Pete was totally blown away by the bands competence, he went backstage after the show to complement the guys, later Jade invited Pete to some other gigs and they eventually became friends. Pete asked the band if they wanted to record some songs he had written, they recorded a five-song demo, after a ten-day pre-production, they cut the debutalbum "Pete Sandberg's Jade" in only seven weeks. "This was the first time I produced an album, with Anders "Theo" Theander assisting me, so this was a really big challenge for me, but I'm very satisfied with the result". The follow-up album "Origin" was released 2001.At the end of 2000 Pete received a phonecall from his old recordlabel Virgin, he was asked to co-ordinate the Alien "Live In Stockholm 1990"-album found in the Virgin archives. Pete and Anders "Theo" Theander digitally restored, mixed and mastered the original tape that was recorded at one of the 62 shows that Alien did on the Shiftin' Gear-tour. "It's a true live album with no overdubs, all the highlights and faults are there. I'm very proud to have been part of Alien and Swedish hard rock history".Late 2000 Pete met up with his Swedish recordcompany, Regain Records, and was asked if he wanted to record an album with keyboardwizard Richard Andersson , drummer Peter Wildoer , guitarist Birch and bassplayer Jens Lundahl , Silver Seraph was born! The selftitled debutalbum was released early 2002 and received great reviews, Pete and the guys said that: "the album turned out exactly the way we wanted it to, back to the roots of hard rock".In early 2002 Pete re-united with long time "brother in arms" Jonas Reingold and formed "Opus Atlantica" together with drummer Jaime Salazar and young guitarwizard Johan Reinholdz and recorded the debutalbum "Opus Atlantica".Pete's 3rd soloalbum "Reflections" - which has been described as "a very acoustic album, accompanied by the Copenhagen String Orchestra" - features musicians Jonas Reingold , Johan Glössner , Jaime Salazar , Henrik Hansson , Thomas Nyberg , Rasmus Kilberg , Thomas Pettersson , Niklas Fredin and Ola NordQvist . The talented Almaz Yebio makes a special guest appearance and sings a duet with Pete on the song "Heaven Belongs To You".

Album:

Second album by the hard rock band led by Swedish guitarist DICK BEWARP, released in 1994.The quality of this album is one or two steps better than the previous one, with the addition of a talented singer, PETE SANDBERG, former vocalist of MADISON, ALIEN and SNAKE CHARMER. DICK BEWARP's guitar tends to be technical, but PETE SANDBERG sings well and the songs have a solid core. The melodies of the songs are lyrical, moderately catchy and good, and the combination of DICK BEWARP and PETE SANDBERG who weave the melodies together is also excellent.The production has a driving sound, and it's a pretty good album.Good Hard Rock with good melodies and choruses.The ballad "Childs Play" or "Wildside" "Tonight" "I Want It All" the punchy "My Kind Of Woman" are great songs.Just get it...this album rocks. A must have for your collection.
