The folks at Hultsfred Festival have announced their rookie stage where they feature up and coming Swedish acts. Over the next two weeks I hope to be writing about some of these groups. Chris Wigren & The Headaches is one such band. Chris is a huge fan of Elliott Smith and you can hear that in his songs, but I think his vocals remind me more of Bob Mould at times, and it’s surely no coincidence that Bob Dylan is displayed so prominently in the photo above.
He’s just released a new EP and in May was invited to Washington DC to play House Of Sweden. These two songs are from a previous recording but the new songs are streaming on MySpace.
