Knutna Nävar was a communist progg band from Gothenburg, Sweden, active during the first half of the 1970’s.
The Swedish political party Kommunistiska Förbundet Marxist-Leninisterna (Revolutionärerna), Communist League Marxist-Leninists (the Revolutionaries), in 1971 relased the first Knutna Nävar LP, entitled “Internationalen och Andra Revolutionära Arbetarsånger” (“The Internationale and Other Revolutionary Worker-Songs”), through its label Proletärkultur. They released two LP’s, the other being “De Svarta Listornas Folk” (“The People of the Black Lists”) in 1973, and two EP’s. Many of the songs by Knutna Nävar are using borrowed melodies from classic fight songs, but they also wrote their own material.
One of the members have represented the Communist Party in the municipal assembly in Lysekil, North of Gothenburg. Also actor Sven Wollter, well-known communist, appears on the track “Röda Fanor”.
