The Legends formed in January 2003 and the week after a gig was booked, supporting The Radio Dept. in Stockholm.
As the band basically lacked songs and members the first two weeks were spent writing songs and fathering friends who could play, or wanted to, play in the band.
According to The Legends the band plays music that can’t be placed in a genre, still they’re happy to agree on Television Personalities, Comet Gain, early Jesus and Mary Chain, Motown and C-86 as inspiration.
Slightly mod but definitely pop, the band’s tunes don’t require a great deal of thought but always leave you wanting more.
The Legends, made up of 9 handclapping, guitar clattering, singing band members who had little or no experience before joining the band, now rock out to their own pop beats on TV and radio all over Sweden.
SPLENDID E-ZINE says: “The Legends don't merely rehash rock's past or strain their tunes through a lo-fi filter: they embrace the past as it writes its way into the future, tossing in a variety of musical elements from throughout music history.”
A 7” single (“make it all right”) was released in May targeted at radio and important press in Sweden and the feedback was very good. Rotation on Sweden’s largest channel P3 for 8 weeks. There was also an interview/special feature on Sweden’s number 1 pop show on the same radio channel/ A couple of hundred copies were distributed to the audience and sold out right away.
