Trallpunk (Swedish; roughly translates to 'melodious punk' — see the Wiktionary entry) is a subgenre of punk music developed in Sweden. It is known for its two-beat, fast drum tempos, a melodic sound with harmonized vocals, and politically oriented lyrics in Swedish.[1] Generally, trallpunk music advocates for left wing political causes. Asta Kask[2] is considered to be one of the first trallpunk bands. During the 1990s, trallpunk saw increased popularity, particularly due to the club Kafé 44inStockholm and the band De Lyckliga Kompisarna (The Happy Friends).
Today, trallpunk is represented through bands such as Varnagel, Slutstation Tjernobyl, Greta Kassler, and De Lyckliga Kompisarna.[3] Internationally, bands like Rasta Knast and Takahashi Gumi[4] are examples.
