Press coverage! It’s not really an interview but more of a “hemma hos reportage”. Pardon my failing English, I’m gonna find the right translation when I’m not at work ^^. It looks like you’re gonna have to buy the actual paper if you want to read the full story but there’s a short snippet online, which I successfully quoted below.
I love that “Party Dude” is highly visible in the background ;D just below my framed Aqua poster ^^

Anton går sin egen väg

Anton Leuba är musikern som väljer att gå sin egen väg och att själv ta ansvar för alla delar av sin musik. Han skriver, spelar och sjunger allting själv. Han har dessutom valt att producera och distribuera musiken, för att ha full kontroll över sitt skapande.

Fyra våningar upp, över Flen och de grå järnvägsspåren står en kanna kaffe på bryggning och Lady Gaga sjunger upprepande ur högtalarsystemet i det kombinerade vardags- och sovrummet. Anton Leuba flyttade hemifrån i början av sommaren. Numera pendlar han till jobbet och det före detta hemmet i Bettna, där han jobbar på familjeföretaget Lita Screen tillsammans med sin mor, far och lillebror.

I totally overruled the perfectionist in me and decided to publish this very not perfected piece of music. Maybe it’s the fever or just desperation to be heard.

I’ll be adding to this post as the song evolves. Maybe even post it here, after all this IS my official website.

The single was actually released on the 26th of May but I haven’t seen the video until now and to be honest, that what we loved them for. The corny, cartoonish videos that worked so seamlessly with their songs. I don’t know if this measures up to Barbie Girl but it’s good to have them back anyways ^^

But my song Take Me was featured in a Swedish horror movie back in ‘07. It’s pretty low budget film but it was gross, scary and also a bit funny – i.e. all the stuff you want in a good horror movie.

Check out these trailers:

You can find more info about the movie at Rotten Soulz Entertainment website.
