Kungens Man / The Janitors

***Kungens Män*** is a free rock ensemble from Stockholm, Sweden. Active since 2012, the band has released a steady stream of records on labels like Adansonia, Riot Season, Cardinal Fuzz, Majestic Mountain and on their own label Kungens Ljud & Bild. Touring Europe and UK regularly over the years and built an enthusiastic following of music freaks and a strong reputation as a must-see live band. Rooted in improvisation and drone rock with a large emphasis on instant composition, rather than traditional ”jamming”. Intertwined, chiming guitars, free jazz saxophone, punky and funky minimalistic drumming and a low end department with both bass and Moog playing off each other makes a brew that takes the music in many different directions, reminiscent of everything from seventies Miles Davis to Träd, Gräs och Stenar to Sonic Youth to Can.

Expect a new album in the fall of 2025. It will come with a great degree of variation and some soundscapes previously unheard in the improvised world of the Swedes.

Conjuring heavy drones and sinister garage psych freak outs, Stockholm outfit ***The Janitors*** have been a formidable presence on the European underground since they formed back in 2004.

Channeling the freewheeling spirit of Hawkwind with equal smatterings of Sabbath and Spacemen 3, the band are masters of taking hold of a gnarly fuzzed out groove and beating it within an inch of its life. Not for the faint of heart, their druggy wig-outs are totally relentless and unforgiving.
