Dia Psalma

Dia Psalma are almost legendary in the Swedish punk scene. Their music is best described as punk and metal tunes with influences from folk music with lyrics stretching from politics to Swedish folklore. The band is best categorized as "trallpunk", a Swedish term to describe punk sung in Swedish with lyrics easy to sing along with. The band was formed in 1992 from the 80's punk band "Strebers" after one of the members died in a car accident.

The band was formed in 1992 from the 80's punk band "Strebers" after one of the members died in a car accident. Ulke and Ztikkan recorded one last album called "Till en v?n" (to a friend) with a drum machine replacing their friend and then decided to start a new band. They found Stipen who joined them as a drummer and in 1992 Dia Psalma was formed.

During the 90s Dia Psalma swept in like a storm and around 1994 they topped the charts for most played and most sold record. 1997 Dia Psalma went into the grave and for nine years it seemed that they'd stay there. In early 2006 a reunion tour around Sweden was announced and the response they got was overwhelming. After a successful tour during which they among other places played at many of Swedens biggest rock festivals, they started recording their first new album in ten years.
The album "Djupa skogen" (The deep woods) was released October 10 2007 and Dia Psalma hit the road touring again.
