Bio:
The Dalecarlian town Mora in Sweden, was a melting pot for teenagers eager to make a stand with their music in the late 1970’s. Tryckvag, a young bunch with a big local following, immediately set sails in a popular direction. They even got invited to play on national TV, which was a really big thing back in 1979 when only two TV channels were available in Sweden. After the mandatory line-up changes the band finally settled as a trio in early 1980’s. Now consisting of Mats Attaque (vocals/guitar), Mikael Höglund (bass) and Thomas Broman (drums) they released the 7” single “Stay the night” in 1985.Tryckvag left for Stockholm to make it big but split up and drifted off to other bands. Höglund and Broman co-founded Great King Rat and Attaque joined the band MOGG and left for Los Angeles. After putting Great King Rat on ice, Höglund joined UK stadium rockers Thunder in 1993 and Broman ended up as the new drummer in Electric Boys. The latter also playing with Glenn Hughes, Send No Flowers, John Norum and Michael Schenker Group to name a few.Despite their new individual international careers, the three childhood friends gathered for the occassional live gig every now and then. In 2007 they even recorded one of these shows and released it on CD as “Dalecarlian Riot”.A little over a decade later they decided to roll up the sleeves and start writing new songs for the next chapter of Tryckvag. This is their legacy.
Album:
You might know their names from the big rock stages but it all started in the end of the 1970’s, in a small Dalecarlian town of Sweden. The sleepy town was Mora and the band was Tryckvåg (TRYCKVAG). As it later turned out, this was the start of their international careers to come on the hard rock and heavy metal scenes.TRYCKVAG is Mikael Höglund on bass (Great King Rat, Thunder), Thomas Brown on drums (Great King Rat, Electric Boys, Michael Schenker Group, John Norum, Glenn Hughes) and Mats Attaque on vocals & /guitars (Mogg, Baltimoore).In 1985 they released their only official effort (7” single) and left for fame and glory in the Swedish capital of Stockholm. Soon thereafter they were scattered by the wind and disbanded. But despite their new individual international careers, the three childhood friends gathered for the occasional live gig every now and then.Were they satisfied with this musical imprint of Tryckvag? Was it enough of a legacy for the afterworld? The obvious answer was NO.Therefore, Tryckvag has entered the studio to showcase their contemporary sound and songwriting, and the result is the classic hard rock / traditonal metal effort ”Legacy”. All brand new compositions plus a couple of their “classic” songs re-recorded and included on this release.
