Back to the Music With Ingrid Ingrid Studio

After 15 years giving zero interviews, getting this man in the podcast seat was…easy. When we asked him to join us in the studio for Back to the Music, he said yes and even arrived early. Sarah and Björn then sat the Swedish rock legend known as Joakim Berg down for a fun 90 minutes of music (and everything in-between) chit-chat. In episode 2, the conversation deepens and broadens, touching upon:
 
Why Kent is so loved by the Swedish folk  What the band fought about when they were together A secret room at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm that is very dear to his heart If Kent could possibly maybe someday...

Sarah and Björn sit the Swedish rock legend known as Jocke Berg down for a fun 90 minutes of music chit-chat. And here is the first half of that afternoon, when he talks about:
How a kids’ TV series with a sunburst Fender stratocaster inspired his music career.  How the Swedish music funding scene got Kent on its feet and then kicked them to the curb for not abiding by the rules.  How liquid courage (vodka) brought the band its drummer. How melody writes the lyrics. How Kent abandoned guitars

Replacing the guitarist of Brit-pop sensation Suede at the ripe age of 17, Richard Oakes has spent the bulk of his adult life playing big stages and churning out cult classics. The show goes on, this time from a small town outside of Stockholm, where he lives with his Swedish wife and happened to cross paths with Sarah, who not only started a band with him but also pulled him into the studio to discuss the ins, outs, ups and downs of being a superstar well into the 21st century. They cover everything from Denmark as the most stalwart of Suede lovers, Crushed
Kid as the secret band name when they road-test new material, playing arena gigs, how 80s modulation makes Brett’s ears perk up, and the gorgeous sound of icy wiry guitars.

Having worked as a professional musician for over 28 years, Martin Hederos knows a thing or two about life on the road and life in the studio. He takes a breather from it all to sit down with Sarah and Björn, reminiscing over the musical segues he’s made between playing rock piano with The Soundtrack of Our Lives to writing string quartets for film music. And ends their session with a real Satie-style treat.

And then - magic! They appeared. The first out was recorded on November 26, 2021, an hour before we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the studio, and features none other than the multi-talented and multi-cultural Gina Dirawi. Although some of the content may be past its live gig-sensitive dates by now, the conversation is as relevant and intimate. Enjoy!
