Sobre The Legends (info de su MySpace):
In 2003 and 2004 The Legends received world wide recognition with the hyped debut ”Up against the Legends”. Now The Legends return with an album that is bound to take the world by surprise. ”Public Radio” echoes of the early 80’s and sounds futuristic at the same time. They mix influences from bands like New Order, Felt, Feelies and The Cure with their own pop aesthetics and turn it into something utterly wonderful and new. From the debut to now The Legends have transformed from a 9-piece band to a one-man project. At least officially. The truth is that both ”Up against the Legends” and ”Public Radio” were recorded, written, played and produced by Johan Angergård (also member of Acid House Kings and Club 8). Johan explain: - "When I start recording an album I have a very clear idea of what I want to do and by doing everything myself the album comes out exactly the way I want it to. Involving other people might only blur the vision."
