The Greed was just a bunch of hopefuls from Sweden when they entered the Emergenza competition in 2005. They went through various stages in their own county in Sweden to make it to the international finals in Rothenburgh last August where they shared the bill with such rockers as Turbonegro and Bloodhound Gang. It was just their luck (and technical merit of course) that one of Emergenza''s judges was the biggest music business instrument manufacturer distributor in the continent. With that in mind, you must understand that not everybody that is unsigned gets an endorsement here, but Emergenza made it possible so here it is: this is an official communication that HAGSTROM GUITARS is now an official partner and endorser of our very good swedish friends THE GREED. We wish The Greed all the luck in the world with their new and exciting venture and will continue to follow them into getting a deal with a major... it won''t be too long boys, we''ll be helping you along. Congratulations from the Emergenza team... congratulations and keep it going. Show these bands that everything is possible with hard work and persistance! So there you have it readers: work hard, play hard, win hard.
