"They hail from Eskilstuna and are relatively unknown. Rather different too, with their almost 1970's blend of Swedish folk music, rock, free jazz and some funk. What's interesting about them is not the least their instrumentation. With electric bass, electric guitar, drums and saxophone they already on paper arrive at improvised music from a different quarter than the usual jazz oriented. That produces a sound that appears to be a bit more dirtier, a bit rougher - all in all more rattling'. It seems like the whole Swedish improvisational scene would be in need of more bands like Nods Off from Eskilstuna, with a similar, more rock oriented angle of approach."

"*Free improvisation with roots in the rebellious jazz of the 60's melt together with brusque funk and art rock to a ragout you willingly dip your ears in."

"The group doesn't play "free jazz", what that means, but IMPROVISED MUSIC. That is important, any musical genre is permitted, though it shows that the players come from the rock and punk tradition: inconsiderate bursts of aggression, total presence. Thursday evening's compressed program revealed to a greater extent than the gentlemen's newly released CD, an almost telepathic oneness in their playing, where the dynamics is shown in rhythms that cross each other, overload, and come back in a new form: polyrhythmic, polytonal."
