Caroline from Linoleum with memories of singing as Severe Loren for Black Market Music by Placebo

Black Market Music by Placebo was released 20 years ago. Caroline from Linoleum sang on the tracks Special K and Taste in Men. Stefan Olsdal, bass player in Placebo, has made this series of short films celebrating the album and asked Caroline to contribute her memories of the band and of singing on the record.

20 Years since Linoleum Dissent single released!

Can’t believe it’s 20 years this week since the first Linoleum single, Dissent, came out in its gorgeous lino sleeve cut up by the band members.

Dissent reached number 4 in the indie charts and received the review below in the NME on 27 April 1996.

In timely fashion, Universal Music Group have also just re-released Linoleum’s first album, Dissent in US, Mexico & Canada. Release to follow in UK…
