We Are Soldiers We Have Guns - Songs That No One Will Hear


Malin Dahlberg. The name belongs to the carrier of one of the world's most beautiful voices. Malin is perhaps Sweden's most talented pop musician.

Laurel Music is Sweden's best band. I can not write a text about Malin without also mentioning Laurel Music. Listen to Make Believe once and you will understand. It has been very quiet on Laurel Music for a while. Mr Angergård of Labrador Records does not want to say when Laurel Music's new album will be released. Instead, he decorates his record label's website with promotion for his own boring band The Legends. Priorities Labrador, priorities!

Malin is involved in several bands. We Are Soldiers We Have Guns originally started as Malin's own solo project for songs that did not fit Douglas Heart (another band of hers). Based on the band description, it is clear that We Are Soldiers We Have Guns mean a lot to Malin. She plays with Joakim Rosén in a band which has become much more important than being a project for songs that were left over.

We Are Soldiers We Have Guns do not scream for attention. At most, they whisper to us that they exist from a small ad in the indie pop fanzine Ettnollett. Songs That No One Will Hear appears on We Are Soldiers We Have Guns' new mini-album To Meet Is Murder which will be released later this fall. I will wait for it, Malin and Jocke. You do not let go when you find something or someone that lights up your life.
