Mustasch galore

My relationship with Gothenburg's hard rock heroes Mustasch is a bit torn, as they probably one of the most uneven bands around. One moment they're excellent, the next snooze-inducing. Frontman Ralf Gyllenhammar's penchant for clowning around in every silly TV show imaginable also makes it hard to appreciate his music sometimes.

So what I decided to do was trim all the fat off and compile all their best songs from all of their releases so far - the full-lengths Above All (2002), RatSafari (2003), Powerhouse (2005), The Latest Version Of The Truth (2007) and S/t (2009), and their two EPs The True Sound Of The New West (2001) and Parasite! (2006).

With all the golden nuggest compiled like this, it makes you think how unfair it is that Mustasch isn't much bigger than they are. When they apply themselves and try a little harder, they're bloody brilliant. They may be stars in Sweden, but internationally no one seems to care. And it will probably stay that way until they learn how to kill their darlings and leave the lame tracks off their releases.

Bummer.
