You
could say that KEBNEKAJSE were more or less formed out of the ashes of
the legendary Swedish band MECKI MARK MEN, where three soon-to-be
KEBNEKAJSE members were playing. KEBNEKAJSE's debut album "Resa mot
okänt mål" (A Journey to destination unknown) is a Swedish classic,
although it differs a lot from the albums that would follow. This album
was released before KEBNEKAJSE discovered the Swedish folk music. Now it
has finally been available in the CD format, 30 years after the
original LP release.The music is loud guitar based hard rock with reminiscences to CREAM, MECKI MARK MEN, MOUNTAIN, NEON ROSE and NOVEMBER. The sound was somewhat typical British but the sparse lyrics were in Swedish. Perhaps it's quite unfair to say so, but I have always considered the guitarist Kenny Håkansson to be the most important member in the band. It was he who gave KEBNEKAJSE their unique sound with his original guitar sound and playing.
