Mårran is a Swedish rock group formed in 2010 in Stockholm.

History

The band was formed in 2010 by Morgan Korsmoe and Ludwig Larsson (both born 1989). Morgan grew up playing bass in his father's band Larz Kristerz but had a heavy urge for the rock music of the 1970s and wanted to start a group playing hard rock/blues rock. Morgan and guitarist Ludwig recruited drummer Björn "Binge" Inge (born 1952) from the renowned Swedish hard rock band November (the Swedish Cream and the first band to sing hard rock in Swedish in the early 1970s), Hammond organ player Max Lorentz (known for his work as producer and musician for very many artists in Sweden and Denmark) and rock vocalist Göran Edman, world known for his work with amongst others Yngwie Malmsteen. The group decided to write their own material in their native tongue of Swedish.

October 2011 saw the release of Mårran's debut CD-single "Gärdesbrud" on Blind Boyscout Records in a limited edition of 500 copies. In March 2012 the debut album Mårran was released in Sweden on S-Rock Records produced and mixed by Max Lorentz.

The songs on the album are:

The album got rave reviews in Sweden and an English version is planned for 2013.

Mårran made their first tour in November 2011 and their second in March 2012.

On November 16, 2012 Mårran released their second album Mårran 2 in Sweden on S-Rock Records produced and mixed by Max Lorentz.The album got ever better reviews in the Swedish press.

The songs on the album are:

Also in November 2012 Mårran released their live EP "Mårran - Vid liv" ("Mårran - Alive") featuring Richard Rolf of November with the songs:

"Ensamma stränder" features a tribute to the old November song "Balett Blues".

In March 2013 S-Rock released Mårran's debut album as a 180 gram vinyl LP.

On Record Store Day April 20, 2013 Mårran released a limited edition vinyl only single, each in its own unique cover made by the Swedish artistAnders Hultman. Hultman, who also constructed the "Mårran-train" depicted on Mårran 2, made the covers out of old record covers, mostlyof the religious kind, from the 1960s. This was considered as an environmental statement for re-cycling. The songs were recorded during the making of Mårran 1.

On January 1, 2014 Mårran released their 3rd studio album Mårran 3/4 part one in a series of two albums where part two Mårran III/IV AP-IX will be released in April 2014.The album was again produced by Max Lorentz but this time recorded at the Maroli Studios, Stockholm. On these two albums the group added cello, which doubles the guitar riffs, to all the songs.The cello was played by Max's step son Kevin Kirs Verstege.
