The Carnation is a rock band from Gothenburg, Sweden and their song'' I don't want to lose you'' is one of the best powerpop songs in this time. Together the well dressed gentlemen of this quintet are doing their best to create a unique and personal mix of pop melodies, punk attitude and a trashy, new wave-sound. This EP consists of material from a while back but is still valid. It is so by showing beyond any doubt that The Carnation are blessed with the ability to write honest and oh-so-catchy tunes. This spring the band is putting a single out and the autumn will see the release of The Carnation's first full length-album, which will hit stores all over the world in September. The record is being produced by Björn Olsson, already renowned for his excellent work both in Sweden and abroad and also a former member of fellow Gothenburg-rockers The Soundtrack of our lives.
