Palm has played in many bands. Some you might have heard of and some you probably never heard of. Apparently, he doesn’t give a damn (or words some might consider more profane) as he considers the present is much more important than dwelling in past victories and/or missteps.

However, for those that do, here’s a few names for you to ponder over: In Solitude, Ghost, Pig Eyes, Gösta Berlings Saga, and Södra Sverige.

Equally, of interest are those collaborating and that once more includes with Simon Söderberg, Daniel Moilanen and Johan Gustafsson. Furthermore, Palm has invited friends and idols from bands such as Poison Idea, Viagra Boys, Nord & Syd, The Bear Quartet, Switchblade, Paper and Horndal to make his third outing something extra special. And it is. 19th April is the date. You’ve been warned.

Tracks featured on Nerd Icon are: ‘Instrumental Fugue’, ‘Subway Morgue’, ‘Lunch Hour (Of The Wolf)’, ‘Talismanic Love’, ‘Swim To the Light’, ‘From The Grave’, ‘Back To Abnormal’ and ‘Many Days’.
