Björns vänner is up there among the legends of Swedish pop music sung in Swedish. I can only think of two artists that come near the feelings and emotions that Björns vänner give rise to; Bob Hund and Jakob Hellman. Björns vänner are indeed heroes in their own created universe. It’s the band on Adrian Recordings that has the most fanatic fan base, and even though the band is no more, the crowd still grows. Yes, it is true, Björns vänner gave up after two albums, two EP’s and two singles, the reason was that singer and main songwriter Richard Schicke moved to London. We know what he is doing there; question is if he knows it.
