Policiernas

Policiernas is a Swedish post-punk and art rock band that originated in the 1980s. The group was formed in Umeå, Sweden by a group of friends who shared a passion for music and experimental sound. The band's line-up has changed over the years, but the core membership has remained constant, with Björn Olsson and Bengt Fries on guitar and vocals.

Policiernas is known for their introspective and often poetic lyrics, which cover themes such as love, loss, and social commentary. Their music is characterized by complex melodies, avant-garde instrumentation, and a blend of electronic and organic elements. The band's sound is often described as dark, atmospheric, and introspective, with a strong focus on ambiance and texture.

Policiernas released their debut album, "Brottet Inmurat I Sten", in 1986 to critical acclaim. The album was widely praised for its innovative sound and poetic lyrics. The band went on to release several more albums throughout the 1990s, including "Långhuset" and "Färdledsår". Despite their critical success, Policiernas remained a cult band, with a dedicated but relatively small following.

Throughout their career, Policiernas has been associated with the Swedish underground music scene, sharing membership and collaborations with other influential bands of the era. The band's music has been influenced by a range of styles, including post-punk, art rock, and electronic music. Policiernas continues to produce music to this day, with a renewed interest in their work in recent years, particularly among fans of alternative and experimental rock.
