迷雾团队kent
某一种乐队在你身边始终只有少数人知道，类似秘密会社，成员加入的速度极为缓慢，社团始终打不响知名度。但你不特别担心社团停止成长或脚步停滞，每当与人谈起，你总是暗自窃喜，默默骄傲，甚至希望社团一直维持这种规模就好——Kent就是这样一组乐队。
迷似雾纱
Kent始终是迷雾里的乐队，拨开好几层纱还是还是难以看透。kent来自瑞典，先天的语言屏障使Kent与英语系国家（或依赖英语信息的其它地区）总是处着隔阂。他们曾将两张专辑: 《Isola、Hagnesta Hill》翻唱成英文版本，至于其它作品，包括最新专辑《Du & Jag D?den》都只有瑞典文版。
用The Bends征服瑞典
Kent成立于1990年，主唱Joakim Berg与吉他手Sami Sirvio是学校旧识，乐队成立后陆续招兵买马，首张同名专辑只能算表现普通。但96年的第二张专辑Verkligen让事情产生了转机，这些带着浓浓Radiohead式The Bends氛围的音乐瞬间征服了瑞典，Kent终于踏入畅销乐队之林。02年发行的《Vapen & Ammunition》，光在北欧一地就售出了五十万张，相当惊人的数字。
无懈可击的吉他旋律
《Du & Jag D?den》是无懈可击的吉他摇滚唱片。英国本土的新进乐队不是专研花俏的节奏组或把吉他当成单纯的发声工具，已经少有乐队愿意将时间花在错落有致的吉他旋律上。Kent不是英国乐队，可他们却证明了Brit-Pop的某个面向依然能完美地再现。
神奇力量
Kent的音乐总能让人联想起黄昏、秋天的海滩、逝去的青春、久不见的朋友这些记忆里的往事。为何这些有着无法理解的歌词的音乐，却能不折不扣地打动你？仔细想想，实在是件神奇的事。
With indie pop growing all over Sweden in the mid-'90s, Kent became one of the biggest Swedish bands during that decade. Kent was formed in Eskilstuna in 1990, when singer/songwriter Joakim Berg and lead guitarist Sami Sirvio met at school. They formed a band and were soon joined by drummer Markus Mustonen, bassist Martin Skold, and guitarist Martin Roos. In the beginning they changed their name a couple of times, and after a short period as Havsanglar (Seaangels), they decided to call themselves Kent, which is a Swedish male surname. They recorded some demos and at last they signed with BMG Sweden and their sublabel RCA. In 1994 debut single "Nar Dert Blaser Pa Manen" was released, and no one noticed. In April 1995 their eponymous debut album hit the shelves, and it didn't sell that well in the beginning. Three more singles were released from that album, with the last one, "Frank," being the closest thing to a hit. The band toured heavily in 1995, and after the tour Martin Roos decided to leave the band. Instead they contacted their old friend Harri Manty, who took Roos' place. A year after the release of the debut album, the follow-up, Verkligen, was released, and now things started to happen. As a pre-album single, "Kram (Sa Nara Far Ingen Ga)" was issued and became an instant hit, a hit that helped Verkligen to be a massive success. For the second album, Kent changed their musical direction a bit. Where the debut album was distorted, Verkligen had some melancholic songs, sounding very much like Radiohead. This was a path they were going to follow when recording their third album, Isola, in 1997. After the release of Verkligen, the band once again toured heavily, but the difference was that this time around the venues were all sold out. They also got to play the main stage at Hultsfredsfestivalen, Sweden's biggest rock festival. Kent didn't keep with the tradition in releasing an album in April, and spent much of spring 1997 in Belgium recording their eagerly awaited fourth album. In February 1997 they also won a couple of Grammy Awards, among them for best video, "Gravitation," made by Adam Berg, Joakim's younger brother. In September 1997, the single "Om Du Var Har" was released and became a huge success in Sweden, so when the album Isola was available in the shops, it went straight to number one on the Swedish album chart. Another sellout followed, and what many journalists in Sweden had asked Kent about was about to come true: an English version of Isola. It was first released in Sweden in April 1998, and in autumn 1998 it was issued in England. It wasn't meant to be released in Sweden at all, but the public demand was too big for BMG to handle. In 1998 Joakim Berg also released an album with a project called Paus consisting of him and Cardigans guitarist Peter Svensson. While spending time on the road, Kent main man Joakim Berg continued writing songs. Their fourth album, Hagnesta Hill, appeared in 2000. Vapen & Ammunition, which sold 500,000 copies in Scandinavia alone, followed two years later. After some time off, the band returned to the studio to record Du & Jag Döden, which was released in 2005. Winter 2006/2007 was bittersweet for Kent; while the group announced that it would begin recording Tillbaka Till Samtiden, they would do so without guitarist Harri Mänty, who had decided to leave the group. Tillbaka Till Samtiden was released in October 2007.
