Johan Angergard should be a major player in the Swedish pop game. He runs the respected indie label Labrador and is a member of three working bands, two of which he leads. Still, he doesn't claim to be much of a scenester.

"I'm not good at following trends," he says from his home in Stockholm. "I just concern myself with what's happening on Labrador Records and the bands I already like. I don't think there's a big trend at the moment. If there is, it's probably to sing in Swedish."

Johan sings in English in two of his bands, Acid House Kings and The Legends. However, it's Karolina Komstedt who handles the English vocal chores in Club 8, which Angergard says is the project closest to his heart.
