Exploring Sweden’s Punk Scene With RA

Check out new short film 'Malmö Mentality'

Sweden is one of pop's true bastions, a country that punches far above its weight in commercial terms.

Running alongside this, though, is a fertile, and intensely creative, punk scene.

RA hail from Malmö, a city that houses a highly localised scene with a distinct identity.

RA release their debut album last year on Adrian Recordings, and found an audience across Europe and North America. Brittle, brutal, DIY sound, the band's feral approach is matched to strict musical ethics.

Adrian Recordings shot a new clip, following the band and exploring the punk scene within Malmö.

It's beautifully shot, and highly revealing – if you ever thought that Sweden simply produced synth pop, then this should shatter your preconceptions in the best possible manner.
