Thåström: Next Steps

From his punk rock roots with Ebba Grön and Imperiet in the late '70s and early '80s, Joakim Thåström has gone on to release an impressive body of work under his own name. After a dalliance with industrial in the '90s, he embraced a grungy, acoustic singer-songwriter sound. He's since gone on to produce albums of intense, big-band rock, his insightful, political lyricism always shining through.
