The monthly series where we pick out a handful of fun gigs and such happening around the sound. Mostly in Malmö and Lund, but also in Copenhagen and maybe even further? That is if we think that it’s something worth giving a mention. Did we miss anything? TELL US!
What’s in store for thesound.se in 2025? Well, we’re making some changes. The “monthly” series new music round up will be booted in favour of a new approach to “music journalism”. It sounds really pretentious, but it’s mostly because I can’t keep a schedule. Also this site is by no means a journalistic site or whatever, one day I thought “hey, wouldn’t it be kind of neat if someone hand-fed me sick gigs in my area and recommended me sick new music from local bands?” and so that’s what this is.
what’s poppin’? will remain. The new approach refers to an approach similar to that of pretty cool music-sites such as stereogum or the alternative. When new sick music comes out, we’ll post about it – you’ll see. Uh, and if we can’t keep up with that tempo guess we’ll try something else. Maybe we’ll also do other segments idk. We’re figuring it out as we go!
Also, since there was only one new music round up during 2024 there might be some sort of end of year lists coming soon. You know, after the year has actually ended? We are HOWEVER not in the business of reviewing music. Fuck that. We recommend things that we find sick and then we say what we find sick about it. That’s the motto or something.
Although it’s a slow month, it’s also a: new year, a new thesound.se, and there’s always new gigs to attend in between trying to make good on your resolutions and surviving yet another dark, cold, windy, and rainy month.
