Anyone Remember Clawfinger?

Anyone remember the Swedish band Clawfinger?

I often listened to them during my teenage years, but recently came across them again some months ago and it made me sorta wonder whatever happened to them. They had a cool thing going, sorta rap metal a bit like Rage, but with their own sound. Their albums sounded pretty good, I thought.

They are most known for their song Nigger which has an anti-racist message, but which nevertheless manages to satisfy both racists and anti-racists in one swoop.

A bit dated and the refrain is a bit silly, but it's great fun at parties if you can stand the stares you'll get for putting it on.

My favourite Clawfinger song which is also pretty well known is Two Sides. Until a little while ago, I hadn't heard it for years, but it still prods anus.

So, anyone else like(d) a bit of Clawfinger?

Misery Loves Company where another band that where doing the round at the time of Clawfinger. I think they played a show in London years ago on the same bill together and two other bands that we're more indie than anything else (Headswim springs to mind as one of them)
