Phoenix Harmony

I was at Kafé Deluxe yesterday and it was a great band playing. I knew I had heard the band name "Phoenix Harmony" before and I also thought the singer's voice was similiar to someone. After the show I bought their debut album on signed and numbered vinyl (33/250). On the back of the record sleeve I saw the name of the singer, Ivan Ljungdahl and once again I knew I had heard of him before. Today I surfed the net and now I know that I have seen Ivan live before in his earlier bands Daytripper and Carpe Diem. I actually have a six-track CD with Carpe Diem that my sister bought in the 90s. The music is different now. Carpe Diem was a punk rock band with Swedish lyrics. Phoenix Harmony is some sort of catchy not-too-soft soulrock with attitude and English lyrics. Both bands are great in their own way. I recommend listening to Phoenix Harmony and also going to one of their shows. They really put on a good performance.
