Statues Biography 90’s Alternative Rock was never anything else then great pop-songs filtered through screaming guitars. The Swedish based power trio Statues can be filed under your typical SST band. Simple, impulsive, eccentric, and just wonderful. They could be that third band that played somewhere in the midwest together with Hüsker Dü and Sonic Youth during the late ’80s. Rock has perhaps never been this catchy. Statues are a tornado on a collision course with your hometown. The indie-rock outfit Statues from Umeå, Sweden has a dense stubbornness as their musical trademark. At the same time, there is unobtrusive security and a sense of dynamics in the group's tasteful association of tantrum noises and winding melodies. Much of the establishment is unmistakably bottled in an indie-rock and post-punk North American-style tradition, and aesthetic threads of origin are related to a young and hungry Hüsker Dü as well as legendary alternative labels like SST and Dischord. The trio has been playing together in different constellations since 1991. The red thread throughout the years is that everything has become more and more intense and angry for each year. During the years the members have been heard through bands as Starmarket, KVLR, and The Vultures. In 2018 everything culminated at the start of Statues. The same year debut album "Adult Lobotomy” was released through German label Crazysane Records. The furious and straightforward expression of the high-intense debut album made it sold out in no time. ”In music it’s a rare balance to successfully blend politics and fun, aggression with melody. Drawing on some of my fave post-punk influences and classic rock grooves, Statues debut Adult Lobotomy walks a line like Phillippe Petit across the sky between Twin Towers, gracefully subversive.” -Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Rival Schools, Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits) In 2020 Statues will release their second album “Holocene” on Lövely Records. The band wrote over 40 songs and all of them were short, fast, and extremely intense. The band recorded 13 songs in just three hours. It was the first time in the history for Sandås Silence Studio to repay a band for pre-booked studio time. The entire album was mixed and mastered by Christian Ramirez. The lyrics and artwork were made before the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020. Although the lyrics give hints of threatful viruses, sinkholes, and total environmental collapse. Perhaps we should borrow the crystal ball from Statues, or just accept that the band already are a part of the future. As best we can know, Statues might very well be the future..

An impossible task some say. Therefore the European Broadcasting Union is proud to have brought together 18 Members in 14 countries for the Generation What project which launched in April 2016 and gave a voice to this generation, a generation with a optimistic perspective of the future, as it turns out. Since then nearly a million young people have been given the opportunity by public service media (PSM) to speak up and to be heard. This “millennial” generation will, in the near future, be responsible for our continent so it is valuable to hear their voice and learn from what the survey has revealed. Public service media is not just listening though but providing a platform to build bridges, not just between generations but between citizens and the institutions that influence their lives. Generation What shall be the start of an increased dialogue between young people in the various countries, institutions, governments and the EU.

Nytt Album Med Rival Schools - Pedals Släpps 30/3
2011-03-17 17:32 CET Nytt album med Rival Schools - Pedals släpps 30/3 Två magiska ord som utlöser yviga gester och fåniga leenden: Walter Schreifels. Rival Schools är för post-hardcore under 2000-talet vad Quicksand var för samma genre femton år tidigare. Och inget underligt med det då det är samma man bakom båda projekten. Just det, Walter Schreifels. Hans digra musikkarriär i akter som legendariska hardcorebanden Youth of Today och Gorilla Biscuits och melodiska CIV mynnade ut i hyllade Rival Schools. Bandet bildades i slutet av nittiotalet och släppte sin första, och enda officiella, fullängdare i början av tjugohundratalet. Det faktum att de senare var splittrade under ett antal år samt vägrade släppa sitt andra – men inspelade – studioalbum har gjort dem till en besatthet bland fansen. När skivan senare läckte på fildelarsajter världen över blev bandet lika mytomspunnet som Loch Ness-odjuret. Rival Schools har förutom Schreifels en inte helt okänd lineup i Sam Siegler från CIV, Cache Tolman från Iceburn och Ian Love. Sedan 2008 har Rival Schools återförenats och spelat live igen. De gästade Sverige med ett bejublat framträdande på Stockholmsfestivalen Where the Action is. Och nu är det dags igen. Ett nytt album ska nämligen släppas 28/3 och Schreifels och co. är på intåg igen! Pedals har gått ut i PlayMPE. För fysiska ex kontakta David Hellberg. Den 6:e april spelar Rival Schools på Debaser Slussen i Stockholm. Warner Music International, a leading company in national and international repertoire operates through numerous international affiliates and licensees in more than 50 countries.

Here Were Homeless People All Around Us and a Lot of Fighting Going On
GUILT Ati Moran (Breaking Free Fanzine) on hardcore: Hardcore for me is definitely an idea, an expression of feelings and [an attitude of] never giving up on what you believe in. [It’s] an emotion you feel strong about that no one can take away from you! I also be- lieve hardcore has a lot to do with the people I met in the last 22 years who were apart of the scene - they weren’t everyday people. Besides hardcore being music, it was a place to get away from the normal world! Charles Maggio (Rorschach, Gern Blandsten Records) on hardcore: John Brannon said it best: hardcore is the “blues of the suburbs.” QUICKsaND Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits) on fighting/ disagreements in hardcore: In the scene there were homeless people all around us and a lot of fighting going on. There was the whole punks versus skins thing. There was that back drop, so it was a pretty obvious place to say something about it, and it’s cool to have a scene that allows for that discussion. That’s what gives it power in a way. The hardcore scene is like high school. There’s the typical bullshit that goes on everywhere, but it’s cooler because it’s like a musical high school and there’s something kind of romantic about that. There was also a lot of back and forth between hip- hop and hardcore at the time, too. There was a time when there was a lot of racism but there was a whole backlash against that.

This course falls into social analysis and visual and performance arts analysis and practice because it shows how punk, as a subculture, has influenced alternative economic practices, led to political mobilization, and challenged social norms. This course situates the activity of listening to punk music in its broader cultural ideologies, such as the DIY (do-it-yourself) ideal, which includes nontraditional musical pedagogy and composition, cooperatively owned performance venues, and underground distribution and circulation practices. Students learn to analyze punk subculture as an alternative social formation and how punk productions confront and are times co-opted by capitalistic logic and normative economic, political and social arrangements. 3.

YOUTH and NEWS in a DIGITAL MEDIA ENVIRONMENT • Nordic-Baltic Perspectives • Yvonne Andersson, Ulf Dalquist & Jonas Ohlsson (Eds.)
YOUTH AND NEWS IN A DIGITAL MEDIA ENVIRONMENT • IN A DIGITAL AND NEWS YOUTH Ongoing digitalization has fundamentally transformed the entire media landscape, not least the domain of news. The blurring of previously sharp distinctions between production, distribution and consumption have challenged the established news industry and brought into question long-held assumptions of what journalism is or should be, who is a journalist and how we define, consume and use “news”. This ant- hology aims to shed light on the implications of these transformations for young pe- ople in the Nordic and Baltic countries. It focuses on three themes: youth participating in news and information production; news production by established media organiza- tions and novel information providers aimed at children and youth; news use among youth. Taken together, the chapters illustrate the complexity of news use among youth and offer some rather different examples of strategies that news organizations might consider for reaching young people with news – or involving them in the production of news. Furthermore, the book might serve as a basis for reflecting on the urgent, but Perspectives Nordic-Baltic cumbersome, area of media and information literacy in these media saturated times. Youth and News in a Digital Media Environment consists of contributions from Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Estonia, written by scholars and people working in the media industry. The target audience of this book is students, professionals and • Yvonne Andersson, Ulf Dalquist & Jonas Ohlsson (eds.)
