    the.biography: 
    KVLR (ex-Kevlar) from Umeċ Sweden have had one of those years when everything 
    seems to happen. The band was forced to change their name by a multinational corporation. 
    They toured all over Europe and most of the US. But most importantly, they have managed 
    to create a new album that is filled with melodies and energy. 

    After seven years of spending time in rundown vans and using x kilowatthours of european 
    and american power it has finally happened: KVLR has made THE album. Maybe it was the 
    fact that the band went into the studio with the attitude that they should just have fun, keep it 
    simple, and record live as much as possible. Maybe it was the added inspiration of having a 
    new bass player, Joel Borg, who just recently joined the band, giving them a shot of inspiration
    and new blood.  Add some great background vocals from Lena Karlsson of Komeda and you
    have the final ingredient that brings this album to the heights it reaches.

    KVLR were formed in 1996, the year their debut 7” was released. The debut album 
    “Let Me Worry Some More” was released in 1999 on the american label The First Time 
    Records/Southern. This album was followed by the noisier “The Deadly Dozen” EP. 2002 
    brought a line-up change as well as the album “The Great Collapse”. Let’s just say that KVLR 
    have been one of Sweden’s best-kept secrets for the last couple of years. We think the new 
    album will change that.
