Style
The musical style of Millencolin evolved/moved during the years. Their current songs are closer to the aggressive rock'n'roll, whereas some their old songs were ska-punk and punk rock'n'roll of the years 1970. In the beginning rapids and festive, their songs became increasingly posed and effective, close to the Rock-and-roll.
