Fabriken has been playing for a while, released a lot of CD singles. They consist of members from Rollands Gosskör and  Coca Carola....it can not be anything but good. Check out the interview below from October 2025.

You started playing together in 2012, how did that come about since you had other groups also?

CS:Just in 2012 we didn't play in so many bands. I very rarely played with Krymplings, and the other bands lay fallow waiting for everything that life does.

PT: We didn't have any other groups then. Neither Rolands Gosskör nor Coca Carola were active when the factory started.

ÅN:Me and Curre didn't have any direct bonds at the moment, and it all started with I wanted to make music on the computer and checked with C if he didn't have any songs that were and littered. He sent over two that I got started on, then I think we both were a little surprised at how right everything felt at once...

The current members, have you been playing together for a while now or how is it?

CS:Right now Fabriken is 3 quarters from Rolands Gosskör and 1/4 childhood friend as well has been a substitute in Roland once upon a time. We have been playing with the current constellation since 20? Should have been late 18-19? Urban was involved in recording Tortera which was released in 20

ÅN: Curre and I started in 2012, Patrick joined in the fall of 2017, and Urban joined January 2020.

UE:Was asked as the last member of the current constellation to join just before Christmas 2019. At that time, I had barely held a guitar in over 30 years, but felt that the offer Sounded way too fun to turn down.

You have released a lot of CD singles but never an LP, this is a conscious choice or has it just become like that?

CS:It's probably completely unconscious. We work quite slowly so an LP would take too much time perhaps......

ÅN: I would say that it is deliberate, to record a full-length with all that means in commitment, time and money. Just to write 12-14 songs that are something to have, and then record them... time. Sometimes we barely put together a rehearsal a week...

UE:Would say unconsciously... It has never been discussed in a serious discussion.

Wouldn't an LP be nice to release?

CS:Very nice and very hard.

ÅN: That would be very fun, and as I said in the answer before, demanding.

UE:Very nice, but extremely time consuming.

Do you play a lot live in this constellation?

CS:We are really bad at the live thing but we will get much better.

ÅN: None of us have really had the energy to get to grips with the booking part properly.

UE: Not at all as much as we would like

Do you play any of your bands' songs live when you play or have you decided to not do it?

PT: We only play Fabrikenlåtar, the other bands get to play their songs themselves. Roland's Gosskör doesn't really exist, they only play on special occasions like Beat Butcher's anniversary and the like.

ÅN:We have never played other bands' songs, except at our premiere gig at Debaser Slussen, Stockholm. We needed to fill out the game set so we threw in a Stiff Little Fingers song, otherwise it has been a conscious choice to keep the bands apart...

UE:No

Is there any difference in the audience when you play with Fabriken or is it pretty much the same types who come to your concerts as with your other bands?

CS:Pretty much the same.

UE:N/A

You play punk, how has your view on punk changed (if it has) since you cam into the wonderful world of punk and first played punk?

PT: It hasn't changed at all really, it's the same loving people and DIY spirit. There is a greater age spread now that we have become older and new young people have been added in a even flow.

CS:Punk is not a style of music for me but a way of looking at life and a way of life.

ÅN:The core of the feeling is probably the same as when I first came into contact with the music and the people around the music.

UE:Have no opinion... Good music is good music, regardless of genre

What does punk mean to you, is it just a word, a style of music or is it even a lifestyle?

PT: It's more of a way of being and thinking, definitely not an actual style of music. If you go on a Punk gala or a gig where several bands play, there are as many music styles as It's a band but the attitude and the core is the same.

ÅN: I'm probably quite sparing with that expression, but of course it's in such circles that you can find friends, new and old, so it's more of an approach to everything you do in life... than just an exterior.

UE: Music, energy and community

What ́s the best thing about playing punk?

CS:Playing is usually the best thing there is, no matter what you call it.

ÅN: I've probably always played music, and it can be amazing and disastrous, but you I want to go back there regardless.

UE: The best thing about playing with Fabriken, is that I get to do what I love together with friends I've known for almost 50 years.

If you think back to when you had your first gigs with your first band, What is the difference with if you compare to playing live today?

CS:We are so much better at what we do, which doesn't necessarily mean that it's better.

PT: Today everything is much more professional. We were all beginners when it all started, both band and Ooganizers. Now everything works as it should. The organizers have good stuff and everything is organized, The same goes for the artists. But I can still miss the "pioneer" time when everyone was just happy to play and fix. You take what you have, sleep on people's couches, someone borrowed old vocal system and handmade posters.// Patrick

ÅN:The biggest difference is probably that you have become better at handling your instrument, your sound and a stage, and that the organizers nowadays are usually fantastically professional.

UE: In addition to the hairstyle, it is that you work more with details and dynamics. You have a greater understanding how to make it sound good.

What is the kick of playing live?

CS:The audience and our own expectations of the result.

PT: Just playing together is a kick, then there is an extra boost of adrenaline when you play before people. If you get a good response even better.

 ÅN: I've probably always been more excited by those who stomp the beat a little discreetly with their foot, than those who throw themselves headlong off the stage and roar, - Play faster. It is a wonderful feeling, if it arises, that other people like what you have put together yourself in the rehearsal room, it's big.

UE:It's just so damn fun

Is it easy to get gigs with a band like Fabriken? Do you think it helps That you have been in the bands before that you have been in?

CS:It's pretty easy but it has to work logistically as well, which can make it difficult.

ÅN:I don't think it seems like those who like Coca or Rolands, automatically come and check on us, so it's not obviously helpful, but it's clear that many people are Curious about what we have done after the previous bands.

UE:Have no answer

What's the weirdest thing that ever happened during a concert with some band that you've been a part of?

CS:There are so many strange things that I need my own book for that.

 PT:With Rolands Gosskör- At an early concert with Roland's, someone threw up a couple underpants that landed on the drum kit. I was very happy and felt like Tom Jones.

ÅN: I don't remember any particularly strange oddities than the usual oddities.

UE:Nothing has happened that I find strange.

How do you think it is to live in Sweden today, with the Tidö parties, high food and electricity costs etc etc?

CS:I don't think it matters much where you live. There's so much shit going on throughout the whole World. We continue to try to make it better for everyone where we live.

ÅN: I haven't lived in any other country, but I think we're relatively well off in Sweden... But we need to keep a little track of what our politicians are up to, because things can changes, rights are removed...

UE:The world is ruled by maniacs and idiots... The same applies to Sweden.

Are there any really good bands in Sweden that you don't think everyone has heard of.  Which you would like to recommend?

PT:Strikt, Krigsstigen, Hyrda Knektar, Världen Brinner

ÅN:Elefte timme, Satuestatues...

UE:Hyrda Knektar, Power grid failure

Who does the songs, the lyrics?

CS:FABRIKEN

Tell us a little about the following songs –

-Glömda själars land

-Gudinnornas Gudinna

-Återtåget

UE:3 real splashers

Who has done the cover of your new album "Glömda själars land"?

CS:Åke is our AD.

Is it important to have a cover that shows what type of music you play?

CS:No

PT: No, our covers have usually been a bit desolate and gloomy and we really hope that the music is not perceived as such

ÅN: It is not important to see what music is to be delivered, but it is important to covers, for me, I know that not everyone cares, but for me it is and has always been important with the presentation. It should convey a feeling, not necessarily the same as music, but it can't be too far away either because it gets weird, but it has to be keep a line, through images and, colors and style.

UE: No, I don't think so, but there must be a thought and work behind it.

What is your absolute favorite cover of all time?

PT:London Calling with The Clash

ÅN: I always get started on Never mind the bollocks, Kiss Destroyer.

UE:I have to say "Born to run" with Bruce Springsteen... love that picture

A lot of bands make their own beer and let it out, if you did that, what sort would it?

CS:Faucet Water without shit.

PT: The beer was to be called "Strejk på Fabriken" and it was to be a Bitter.

ÅN: Me and Curre have had discussions about releasing our own water, completely without frills, but under their own label, would be interesting.

UE: It has to be called "Tappad som barn" and be alcohol-free

Tell us a little about the following albums and what you think about it today.

-First record you bought or got?

PT:Neil Sedaka "Emergence".

ÅN:Kiss Destroyer

UE:Meet the Beatles

-The album that changed your life?

PT:The Clash first

ÅN:Never mind the bollocks

UE:Born to run

-Last album you bought?

PT:Editors "EBM"

ÅN:Biffy Clyro Futique

UE:I don't remember that –

The album you are ashamed of?

PT:None!

ÅN: Absolutely none!

UE:There are none

-The album which makes Fabriken sound like you do?

PT:Every album ever!

ÅN:Noring answer, but it's all the music I listen to that colors how I play, write songs, And by extension, how we sound together.

UE: There is no easy answer to that. We all come into Fabriken with some relatively different musical sources of inspiration... and that mixture makes the flavor.

-The album that always has to be on the tour bus or before you go on stage?

PT: We probably mostly sit and cackle when we are out and about. Otherwise, it's probably new music that we have fished up and want to share with the others

ÅN:I say like Patrick, you want to share new or old treasures (music).

UE:We like silence and old man rest... maybe P1 in the background.

-The album that you would have liked to have played on?

PT:Clash first and Sweet "Fanny Adams".

ÅN: Yes it will probably be, again, Never mind the bollocks.

UE:Darkness on the edge of town

Do you buy a lot of records yourself?

PT: I've gotten worse at it, but I always buy new records by my favorite artists.

ÅN: I like records very much, to hold in my hand, but I try at every impulse to buy a new record, ask myself if I really need that particular record, and I've gotten better at deciding that you don't have to have all the records you like, You have to settle for the ones you think you can love, or are just very curious about.

UE:Not anymore

Future plans with music? Hope there are plans for even more albums to be released...

PT: We are working hard! There is always a pile of ideas and songs that are processed in Fabriken, it just have to get them up on the assembly line and on to the packing department for distribution.

ÅN: We have no plans to not play anymore or to record, so expect it to come more music from us.

UE:Record and play out... as much as possible

Future plans with your life otherwise?

PT: Become a brisk and energetic drumming pensions!

ÅN: To get better at things I'm not good at, maybe try to bring my old bagpipes to life, the could add some noise to Fabriken, it would probably make many quite happy.

UE:Has a dobro guitar hanging on the wall. it should be chastised and played on

Words of wisdom?

ÅN:Never stop being curious...

UE: Don't take it so seriously

Something to add

ÅN:Thank you for taking an interest in Fabriken
