- Anders Sjöholm (born 1957), with the stage name Stry, is a Swedish musician from Skåne. He has been a member of many bands, usually as the lead singer. Stry was born in Ängelholm and grew up in southern Sweden. In 1963, when he was 6 years old, his family moved to Liberia in western Africa, where his father had gotten a job working for SIDA, Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. They moved back to Sweden in 1966. In the early 1970s, Stry’s interest in music grew rapidly. He bought his first guitar and played in a small band called Riot. In the summer of 1976, Stry went to London with his girlfriend at the time. There he saw the Sex Pistols. When he returned to Sweden, inspired by the Sex Pistols, he formed the punk rock band Kriminella Gitarrer (Criminal Guitars). They recorded a couple of songs and received some attention. At this time Stry was conscripted to do military service, and after that he moved to Malmö City where he formed the band Besökarna (the Visitors). The band got some attention, but in 1979 Stry formed the band Garbochock which was much more successful. In the spring of 1980, Garbochock’s first and only album was released. Soon after this, Stry was invited to move to Stockholm and joined the punk rock band Ebba Grön, which was the most famous and successful Swedish rock band at the time. Stry took his notebook with 100 songs and joined Ebba Grön. He would have a great influence on the band’s third and last album, simply named Ebba Grön. He had already written a song called Stockholms pärlor (Stockholm’s Pearls) for Ebba Gröns second album Kärlek och uppror. When Ebba Grön broke up in 1983, Stry joined the band’s lead singer Thåström in forming the new rock band Rymdimperiet, later renamed Imperiet. Imperiet, inspired by synth and the new sounds of the 1980s and still inheriting a lot of the punk sound from Ebba Grön, became one of Sweden’s must popular and successful bands at that time. But after only one year with Imperiet, Stry decided to leave the band and moved back to Malmö. He now formed the more modest rock band Babylon Blues which released three albums. In 1987 Stry became father to a son named Kalle, but he also lost his own father who died of lung cancer. In 1991, Stry released his first solo album called Plastålekrik. Since then he has recorded a couple more solo albums, some with songs in English. He usually recycled many of his own songs, having used them in different versions with different bands. Although Stry has been the member of so many bands, including two of Sweden’s most successful and popular bands ever, Stry himself has never achieved any fame. Financially he has been unstable, but he has managed to get by on royalties and occasional petty jobs.
- Stry Terrarie, egentligen Anders Sjöholm, rockmusiker. Född 15 juni 1957, uppvuxen i Allarp vid Klippan och i Malmö. Stry Terrarie hörde år 1972 Alice Coopers skiva "School's Out" vilket blev början för Strys musikaliska intresse och 1973 satte "Raw Power" med Stooges och Iggy Pop ännu mera fart på honom. Vid stationen i Klippan köpte Stry tidningen NME varje månad. När han var i London 1976 såg han Sex Pistols live. Stry var inte särskilt imponerad av dem, men i sista låten utbröt ett kaos som han tyckte väldigt mycket om. Han försökte då få medlemmarna i hans dåvarande band Riot att spela punk, men detta gick de inte med på. Han bildade istället gruppen Kriminella Gitarrer som enligt legenden gjorde Sveriges första punkskiva. Efter denna singel hoppade Stry av Kriminella Gitarrer och startade gruppen Besökarna som gjorde singeln "Anna-Greta Leijons Ögon". Den blev en punkklassiker. Grupperna Stry och Stripparna och Blödarna bildades, och så småningom Garbochock som gjorde en singel, en demo-EP och en LP. Under Garbochock-tiden hade Stry fått erbjudande om att vara med i Sveriges genom tiderna största punkband; Ebba Grön. När Garbochock splittrades 1981 åkte Stry till Stockholm och började spela orgel med bandet. Han var med på deras tredje LP och när Ebba Grön splittrades 1983 fortsatte Stry med Joakim Thåström i Rymdimperiet och Imperiet. Stry hoppade av Imperiet 1984 och flyttade tillbaka till Malmö, där han bildade gruppen Babylon Blues 1985. De splittrades trots att de hade nått viss framgång. På senare tid har Stry ägnat sig åt olika grupper, bland andra Wildsmoke, och en solokarriär. Detta med mindre framgång. Under 1991 gjorde han en singel tillsammans med Thåström, och 1992 återförenades han vid ett tillfälle med Ebba Grön. Under 2000-talet har han gjort spelningar med Garbochock och Stry & Stripparna. Stry och Marcus Birro turnerade med föreställningen "Du är Christer Pettersson du också" år 2006, i vilken Terrarie tonsatte Birros kåserier. I april 2009 släppte MNW en samlingsskiva med Stry-låtar från Kriminella gitarrers första singel 1978 till Strys första soloplatta 1991.
