Wallenberg [Fra]


Wallenberg is the second start for one of the most important bands in the French cold-wave scene, since Wallenberg revealed himself from 1984 to 1988 with many live records supporting Play Dead, Jad Wio, Neva and many more… and several featuring on compilations, radio shows and TV appearances, which revealed them to the French audience, before a premature split, although an album was planned with EMI.

Wallenbeg is back in 2004 with a new line up around Hervé (singer and co-composer) and the release of their first real album on Manic Depression Records. And their song also appeared on on the Strobelight Records compilation "New Dark Age Vol.3".
