Ebba Grön was a Swedish punk/rock band. The band was formed in 1977 by Joakim Thåström (Pimme), Gunnar Ljungstedt (Gurra) and Lennart Eriksson (Fjodor), all from Rågsved, a suburb of Stockholm. Their debut album, We’re Only in it for the Drugs, was released in 1978. After their second album Kärlek & Uppror (“Love & Revolt”) in 1981, Anders Sjöholm (Stry Terrarie) joined them. Their third album, released in 1982 and simply named Ebba Grön, also became their last; the band never recovered after Fjodor went to jail for four months for refusing to do military service.
“Ebba Grön” was a code name the Swedish police used in an operation against a terrorist group (a part of the German Red Army Faction), planning to kidnap the Minister for Immigration, Anna-Greta Leijon, in 1976.
Their probably most famous and most played song is Staten och Kapitalet (“The State and the Capital”, roughly translated) and is a song purely and very directly critical towards the Swedish politics and politicians of the time, or maybe unjust politicians in general. The song is actually a cover of Blå Tåget’s Den ena handen vet vad den andra gör (“The one hand knows what the other hand is doing”).
Many of their songs take up political issues or themes, but their main message doesn’t seem to be overtly political. As they state in Tyna Bort (“Perish”, or “Fade Away”) they think music should be for your mental health and nothing else.

Beväpna oss. Trycka upp en mynning i munnen på en liten sverigedemokrat. Fråga, vad han hade tänkt sig. Varför han är rädd. Mer rädd än för mig. Om det är rationellt. Jag har det stora finansiella vapnet. Som kan göra hans liv till ett elände. Tur att han associerar risk med någon olikfärgad, och inte mig.

Ebba Gröns största inspirationskälla förutom lite random progg-band var väll the Clash om jag inte missminner mig?

Att påstå att Ebba var bättre än Pistols är bara att visa att man inte fattat vad det handlat om. Rent musikaliskt är ju Clash överlägsna och provokativt är Pistols lika överlägsna. Ebba befann sig nånstans däremellan, men är lite väl poppiga ibland.
