Tweet Swedish artist Tomas Halberstad has a new double-A side single out now, "Autumn Fall AA", and this is one of the songs on it. I really like the new direction of Halberstad, and his songwriting has in my opinion risen to another level with the latest two seasonal singles. The new single should be available in most digital shops by now. Great stuff! Tweet

Do you remember Tomas Halberstad ? Or perhaps maybe you know him from the commercial above? I've been a fan of his for awhile now, both through his old band and have also been keeping in touch ever since that "Travel as I wait" song first came out . Anyhow, his solo debut "The anger" was released earlier this year, albeit very very slowly, showing up here and there , but it was also given away as a free handmade CDr to the first person from any country who sent [...]

Tomas Halberstad (ex- Punk of Country , remember? ) might not have a record deal, but he's still managed to land the song "Travel as I wait" in a huge ad campaign for Nelly.com . Pretty sweet, eh?

Remember Punk of Country ? Sure you do. They were one of the first prominent acts to give away an entire album's worth of music via the web. It also helped that they did that indierock thing pretty darn well too. I actually was all set to include 'em on "Reader's companion volume two" but then they broke up during the recording of their second album. It's the classic story: increased pressure from a label who doesn't understand them leads to internal tensions and then BANG! It's over. Even more of a pity too, 'cuz the demo [...]
