Från ett grått och monotont 70-tals-Malmö reste sig Wilmer X som en elektrisk storm. Med punkig, blues-doftande rock'n'roll i blodet skakade de liv i staden och satte Sverige i gungning. Genom eviga turnéer och ikoniska låtar som “Teknikens under”, “Vem får nu se alla tårar”, “Spela under hot” och “Om en hund mådde såhär”, blev de en självklar del av det svenska folkhemmets soundtrack.
