Hanna Hirsch come from Stockholm and have since 2004 released three seven-inch (?) records. Tala Svart (Speak Black) is their debut album. The music carries a desperation and an excitement that is reminiscent of bands like Tant Strul and Modern Lovers. Hanna Hirsch say they are influenced by Blondie and Discharge. Even though Hanna Hirsch originally emerged from the punk scene, Tala Svart is more like a pop album with texts that cut deep wounds. This is vital music.

“So what weapon would you choose; a motor saw or a gun, a fork, a spoon, a butter knife, a paper edge, a hairbrush or a pillow. Pick the pillow, so I'll be rid of you.”
