The Danish press often refers to their musical style as punk due to their origin, though nearly everything they have put out since 1980 is more reminiscent of styles such as post-punk, art-rock, gothic rock and even industrial music.

Tabloid (newspaper Format)
A tabloid is a newspaper format characterized by its compact size, smaller than a broadsheet. The term originates from the 19th century, when the London-based pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, Burroughs Wellcome & Co. used the term to describe Tablet (pharmacy), compressed pills, later adopted by newspapers to denote condensed content. There are two main types of tabloid newspaper: red tops and Compact (newspaper), compact, distinguished by editorial style. Red top tabloids are distinct from broadsheet newspapers, which traditionally cater to more affluent, educated audiences with in-depth reporting and analysis. However, the line between tabloids and broadsheets has blurred in recent decades, as many broadsheet newspapers have adopted tabloid or compact formats to reduce costs and attract readers.

Everything That Rises Must Converge (album)
''Everything That Rises...Must Converge!'' is the fourth album by the Danish rock act Sort Sol (aka Sods) and the second after renaming of the band. The album name comes from the title of a short story by the American writer Flannery O'Connor. The album was released in 1987 and showed another change of direction for the group. Before the recording of the album, the second guitarist Lars Top-Galia had joined the group, which caused the band's sound to develop into a more hard edged, hard rocking sound, followed by immediate musical sparks between Top-Galia and the group's other guitarist, Peter Peter Schneidermann, who soon named themselves the "Evil Twins". In 1997, the album was reissued with a whole disc of outtakes and B-sides called "The Violent Bear It Away", which was intended to be the title of the album and is also the title of a short story by O'Connor. This extra disc has a re-recording of the song "As She Weeps" from the '' Dagger & Guitar'' album, but on this version, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Saxophone
The saxophone (often referred to colloquially as the sax) is a type of single-reed woodwind instrument with a conical body, usually made of brass. As with all single-reed instruments, sound is produced when a reed on a mouthpiece vibrates to produce a sound wave inside the instrument's body. The pitch is controlled by opening and closing holes in the body to change the effective length of the tube. The holes are closed by leather pads attached to keys operated by the player. Saxophones are made in various sizes and are almost always treated as transposing instruments. A person who plays the saxophone is called a ''saxophonist'' or ''saxist''. The saxophone is used in a wide range of musical styles including classical music (such as concert bands, chamber music, solo repertoire, and occasionally orchestras), military bands, marching bands, jazz (such as big bands and jazz combos), and contemporary music.
