Freddie Wadling - in Various Bands

In Various Bands

He played bass in a number of bands during the 1970s and early 1980s. One notable band was Liket Lever (which roughly translates to The Corpse Lives).

In the early 1980s, he joined the cult band Cortex. During this period Cortex released the album Spinal Injuries in 1981. The song "The Freaks" sung by Freddie Wadling became a signature song for him and was used in the soundtrack of Tjenare Kungen.

Wadling also played in Straitjackets and the controversial Leather Nun, but his importance for the Swedish punk scene has been small - in contrast to his influence in the alternative/experimental rock scene.

Famous quotes containing the word bands:

    “The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
