If you enjoy Scandinavian music, especially the driven intensity of Hoven Droven, Garmarna, and early Hedningarna, don't deprive yourself of this carefully arranged yet wildly performed recording. - Jim Foley, RootsWorld (Read the full review)

In their own words - the band's bio:
THE BAND TVÅ FISK OCH EN FLÄSK was formed January 1994 as an acoustic trio with the intention to play medieval music. That intention is still there, but the form of a trio showed too limited and we are now five members: vocals, violin, 12-stringed guitar and percussion. The material has up to now mostly consisted of medieval ballads from sweden, but also music from other parts of Europe and from more recent times.
TVÅ FISK OCH EN FLÄSK don´t do usual work. That is, we do not try to recreate the music as it might have sounded. The intention is the same now, as it was two hundred years ago, as in the Middle ages: to make ourselves and the audience sing, dance and having a good time. We do not hesitate to develop the living tradition and add musical experience from other fields. Most of us have a background in different loud occasions which we use when we arrange and perform our material.
TVÅ FISK OCH EN FLÄSK has since the beginning played in festivals and rockclubs, in bars and in the streets, acoustic and amplified. Among other occasions: Medieval Music week in Visby 1995-98 + 2000, Stockholm Water Festival 1994 +1996, Arvikafestivalen 1998 + 2000.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
