Trollsta's Paradise: A True and Honest Tribute to Christian & The Hedgehog Boys is an album created by the now-defunct music group Guwange, released on Bandcamp.com on January 5, 2012 (coincidentally, Chris and Barbera faced hearings over trials on the same day). Like the title states, the album consists mostly of covers of Christian and the Hedgehog Boys songs, re-done in a lo-fi folk-punk sound, and includes songs from both their debut self-titled album and their second
While the album has a lo-fi sound, much of Guwange's covers are far more listenable than the original "songs". Lead singer Rex Rowan may not carry the vocal chords of, say, Freddie Mercury, but regardless he still is actually able to hit the right notes in songs. Also, the poor-quality instrumental backings are instead replaced with acoustic guitars, resulting in a more organic sound.
Release
Although it helped gain the band a cult status amongst other CWCkians, the album was released with little fanfare. However, it was a huge success in Molvania. Furthermore, while most of the songs from the album are on YouTube, it cannot be downloaded from Bandcamp.com, only streamed.
Is Chris himself aware of this album?
It is currently unknown if Chris is aware of this album. If he is, he'd probably throw a hissy fit and claim that Guwange stole his songs. If he were to do that, he'd be too late to make threats at Rex Rowan and the other band members, as Guwange broke up in 2014.
