Skaffa ny Frisyr
Thunder Express was founded in 2004 and released two albums, We Play for Pleasure in 2004 and Republic Disgrace in 2007.[1] In late 2008 Dahlqvist posted a number of Thunder Express songs on his MySpace account with Swedish lyrics. The bad soon revealed plans for its first album under the name Dundertåget, Skaffa ny Frisyr. Seven of the ten songs on the album had lyrics written by songwriter Stefan Sundström.[2] The album which displayed influnces from both American blues rock bands such as ZZ Top and The Rolling Stones as well as Swedish prog bands[2] was well received by critics[2] and earned a Grammis nomination for "Best Rock act of the year". The first single to be released from the album was "Ifrån mej själv" and was followed by "Delad vårdnad (ska du ha spö)" - originally released as "Matrimotion" in English[2] - and featured a guest appernecs by Sahara Hotnights vocalist Maria Andersson.[2]
Dom Feta Åren är Förbi
in March 2010 Dundertåget released the first single - "Bara till besvär" - from their second album, Dom Feta Åren är Förbi.[3] Once again the band collaborated with Sundström which resulted in three songs including the ballad "Vingars brus" which was recorded along with Nina Ramsby.[3] The album is set to be released April 21[4] and the band will tour in support of Lars Winnerbäck throughout the summer.[3] Dundertåget will also perform at the Sweden Rock Festival in 2010.[5]
