Amsterdam
"In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who dies
Full of beer, full of cries
In a drunken town fight
In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who's born
On a hot muggy morn
By the dawn's early light."
//Jaques Brel, David Bowie

Raining Dogs Without Cats
"Raining animals is a relatively rare meteorological phenomenon, although occurrences have been reported
from many countries throughout history. One hypothesis that has been furthered to explain this phenomenon
is that strong winds traveling over water sometimes pick up debris such as fish or frogs, and carry them
for up to several miles."

Disappointment
If you for instance miss an appointment, you might be considered a disappointment. When this happens wear this shirt with pride, to show the offended one that "I am not the one to hide. You and me are on the same side. I was late for our appointment, but as you can see I too agree that I am a disappointment".

David Hofman-Bang
"At thirteen years of age David began playing in the semi legendary punk band
Radikal Gylfbränna. David moved on from punk to hardcore.
The band Confused Attitude harvested some local recognition.
The band now falls in the category, "where are they now?"
During the Christmas of 2000 David recorded
his first solo album, Party the Truth. David started out from the folk music
tradition but has since then created his own sound.
His latest album, Suburban Country, was recorded during the summer of 2006
and you will find some of the songs on this site. David will soon record a
new album."

Happiness
"Formed in pure coincidence, and fueled by elderly synthesizers, toys, broken drummachines and all your favourite
rock 'n' roll-gadgets, Happiness makes a playful mixture of indiepop, electronica and new wave. Or at least so they
have been told.
Members of Happiness also appear in constellations like Tar... Feathers, Fuglesang, Elias Krantz and
Chicken El Diablo, and though you might think you've just solved the murder mystery, back up, Sherlock,
'cause this one's all about the cowbell baby..."

Lakitty
“LAKITTY from Stockholm are exploding in to the Swedish soul/indie live scene while recording their debut album.
Lead singer Kristin Amparo recently won the Swedish part of the competition "Young Nordic Jazz
Comets 2008" and is one of the most interesting upcoming young voices in the Nordic pop and jazz
scene. She's backed up by a band once described as a mixture of D'Angelos Soultronics and The
Doors and together they have a big and growing fanbase in Stockholm.
LAKITTY has gone through several incarnations until it took the shape of the present constallation
in fall 2007. Since then they have written songs, experimented and played a lot together developing
the sensitive and powerful sound that is now their trademark. Lately they have been playing a lot at
several different stages in Stockholm. They recently played three shows on world famous Club
Fasching of which one was recorded by Swedish National Radio who broadcasted the show in january
2009.
More to come!”

Locus
"At the beginning of 2005 four friends started playing in a garage in the suburbs of Nyköping.
With inspiration such as The Killers, Mew, Electric Soft Parade, they found a sound they all enjoyed.
Locus, a band which is currently making some serious changes.
Actually Locus, as it was, don't even excist anymore. The former bandmembers, and founders of the band,
Henning and Hannes Fernström, have decided to start a new project with a punchier vibe and rockier sound.
The new project is called "Wolverines". This music has a more straight forward feel to it but is still open to all
sources of inspiration.
The songs you will hear were made during 2006-2007, composed and organized by
the brothers, Hannes and Henning."

Sidewalk
"Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, this dynamic duo manages to mix hiphop, soul, rock and funk in a very natural way.
In May 2008, with their debut-Ep, “Takeoff“, producer Lastword and rapper Pitz showed the audience a versatile yet compact sound,
and the critics were swept away.
Suddenly, Sidewalk had begun to pave their own way and the sail was set. “Takeoff” took off.
With the motto “moving forward, thinking sideways”,
Sidewalk always want to take their music to new heights and never slow down.
You could call it progress in the flesh.
So six months after “Takeoff” came out, Sidewalk linked up with the legends Swingfly and Thomas Rusiak and released the single “President“.
They also recorded a video for this track, which you can watch here
Even though Sidewalk take their time in the studio to craft every song to perfection, it’s at the live-shows that they truly blossom.
Together with the very talented singer The Sun and drummer LJB, every show is pure energy.
Some of Sweden’s most well known clubs have witnessed this experience, and few have recovered.
The plan for 2009 is to release the debut album and play as many shows as possible.
The crusade has just begun… So get on the Sidewalk or get run over!"

Tar...feathers
"Tar...feathers music is recorded with birds watching over every crackling microphone and glowing guitar, dazzling drums and electronical additions. Sometimes the occasional accompaniment of growls from friendly creatures and 'Gyllene Gasten', a ghostly shape, can be heard in the peripheral realms of the songs.
The lyrics vary from utter nonsense, to divine truth. But it is always honest and filled with soul. Some might call it "lo-fi", others will cry out "Genius!" and heed this musical Bahamut.
An untamed playfulness lets Tar...Feathers appear in many shapes and forms, so no one will ever really know what to expect, or when to (not) expect it."

About us
Unwind clothing was founded in Sweden back in 2007 by two friends, who soon became three when a
third friend helped give birth to the present unwind constellation.
The concept is very simple:
Our idea has always been about making wearable, high quality t-shirts with somewhat artistic prints, that we all liked.
We shared the ambition to create a t-shirt that fit just as good as it looked, an ambition we feel we've fulfilled.
Furthermore, the prints are limited edition. So if you see a tee you like, get hold of it as fast as you can,
since chances are you won't see it again. It's worth mentioning that 10 percent of our net income goes straight
to the organization Doctors Without Borders.
Also, we've put together a music CD consisting of talented artists contributing with great music and you'll
get it for free when buying an unwind t-shirt.
Read more about the CD under "MUSIC".
For us, unwind is all about having a good time, and working hard for something that we really enjoy.
We hope you'll enjoy it too.
Regards//unwind clothing
About the clothes
The unique design of the t-shirts is a product from a collaboration between Unwind Clothing and designer
Sara Forsberg. These shirts are of a oversized model and what you won't be able to fill,
we've filled with love. "The perfect oversize fit" has been a cornerstone throughout the entire process.
Buttons:
One essential part of the design is the buttons, which allows you to upfold the sleeves and/or the
bottom of the shirt if you want to go for a more innovative look.
Models:
We decided to create one model for women and one for men. The two models differ in size, where the female model
is somewhat smaller throughout the sizes, but the biggest difference is in the sleeves. The female sleeves are
shorter with a steeper, more feminine cut, whereas the male sleeves has a more classic t-shirt cut. The sizes
are Small (S), Medium (M) and Large (L).
Colors:
All shirts, prints and models come in two colors; white and gray.
Limited edition:
All of our shirts are of limited edition. In this round of shirts, each print only exist in 125 pieces.
This fact reduces the probability of you finding your newly bought shirt, worn by the schmuck
sitting two tables down.
About the music
We really like music. A lot! And we know you like music too. Therefore we've put together an outstanding CD to unwind to,
consisting of great artists performing great songs.
The general idea about the 'unwind 2009' CD is that we want to do something for you, our customers, friends and peers.
So, we'll give you this CD for free when buying a unwind t-shirt.
In return for this heavenly gift, just make sure you go visit the artists myspaces and homepages, send them an e-mail and go see them live when they play!
Just show them the appreciation they so truly deserve.
The next CD (Unwind 2010) will be released during the launch of our next collection of tee's which will be in stores in March 2010. Like last year's CD, the artists participating on this one have been carefully picked out. We are truly amazed with how much talent this world keeps on offering. The Unwind 2010 CD will feature artists from Sweden, Norway, France and the United States.
If you make music and are interested in participating on next year's CD, which will be released in the beginning of 2011; send an e-mail to music@unwindclothing.com
Finally we would like to say THANK YOU to all the bands and artists who wanted to participate for free on these records.
All of you did it gladly, which has made us very happy.
We are your biggest fans and we really hope that this CD will give all of you loads of new fans as well.
(All songs from the Unwind 2009 CD can be found and heard under the artists sections to the left)
