Anastasia was a semi acoustic folk punk band from Malmö, Sweden, lead by singer/guitarist Lasse Qvint, with Dekel Carlström (drums), Loffa Persson (bass), Daniel Bexell (accordion, guitar, mandolin, piano), and Anette Mårtensson (violin). The band was active during the 1990s and released, among other things, the album "Kickar & Kaos". Anastasia's music is a sort of mix between punk, sped-up singer/songwriter tunes, and Swedish folk music, a mix that was very popular in Sweden for a brief period in the 90s, with bands like Traste Lindéns Kvintett, Perssons Pack, and Bombyces Bryggeri. Note: Anastasia is often mixed up to the female pop-singer Anastacia. Anastasia is also associated with two 20th Century Fox films of the same name. Anastasia (1956) / Anastasia (1997)
