Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion
Powerplay (Reingold Records, 2012)
Hasse Fröberg is well known as the vocalist for Swedish progressive rock band The Flower Kings. Fröberg has another project called Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion. Although Fröberg has background in heavy metal and progressive rock, his project turns out to be good old hard rock.
Don’t expect the complexity of progressive rock or the crushing riffs of metal. Instead Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion offer a fine collection of rock songs with a hard edge. The closest they get to progressive rock is when Kjell Haraldsson adds some of his fine keyboard solos and atmospheres.
The line-up includes Hasse Fröberg on lead vocals and rhythm guitar; Anton Lindsjö on lead guitar, backing vocals; Kjell Haraldsson on keyboards, backing vocals; Thomsson on bass, backing vocals; and Ola Strandberg on drums, backing vocals.
Powerplay is definitely a fine hard rock album worth checking out.
