Musicians

The Resume

    (2011- )
    Born in Copenhagen, Denmark
    Lukas Forchhammer, lead vocals
    Mark Falgren, drums
    Magnus Larsson, bass guitar
    Recorded the albums ‘Lukas Graham’ (2012) and ‘Lukas Graham’ (2015)
    Recorded the singles ‘Mama Said’ and ‘7 Years’

Why they might be annoying:

    They are a band with an individual’s name.
    Their first two albums are both eponymously titled. (C’mon, show some imagination, guys!)
    Lead singer Forchhammer was a former child actor.
    After signing to a division of Universal Music, the label suggested they film some ‘non-corporate-looking material’ and post it online to create some buzz.
    Forchhammer noted, ‘The media made up this nice story about us being an unsigned group that put a video on YouTube, but that's not how it happened. Everyone needs a fucking story, right?’

Why they might not be annoying:

    USA Today wrote that their songs ‘effortlessly blend elements of hip-hop and folk.’
    Their hit ‘7 Years’ was inspired by the death of Forchhammer’s father: ‘He was my biggest fan and biggest motivational force.’
    Forchhammer said, ‘Musicians are not better people than anybody else. We’re not more honor-worthy. Quite the contrary – we drink more, we smoke more, we sleep less, we travel all the time, we don’t see our families.’
    They replaced cringe-worthy novelty act Aqua as the most successful Danish band in America.
