Ben Hogun is an unsigned quartet from Stockholm, Sweden that traffics in a relatively standard brand of indie rock. This is not a knock – after all, most of the bands that we love are not revolutionary. Only a select few bands really push the boundaries of music forward and, at times, those bands are [...]

Remember when music was fun? When a simple formula of vocals, guitars, bass, and drum put a smile on your face because the band’s enthusiasm infected you through the speakers? I find that those moments come farther and farther apart now, that bands seem less joyful than businesslike. Such cannot be said for Frantic Sunday. [...]

When thinking of bands from Scandinavia your list would probably start with Abba, then move on to other mainstream ones like Roxette, Ace of Base and The Cardigans.  You might also have a complete list of all the Death Metal bands to hail from there. Alternatively you may well be heading into my particular taste [...]

If you handed me a map and told me to point to Finland I could do that with relative ease (thanks to a pricey liberal arts education), it’s that little country that looks sort of like a demonic claw that borders Sweden and Russia. Okay, first off what the hell does this have to do [...]

Oh man, Mojib. MOJIB!!! I know I post a lot of crazy ass remixes that blow your face off, but there is also an art to remixing a song that really captures what the original artist was creating without overshadowing it. Pick a song, put a blasting bassline on it, and speed that shit up [...]

If you’re expecting another “Youth Novels” then you’re not going to get it. Although youth still plays a part on “Wounded Rhymes”, lil’ miss Lykke Li has gone and growed up, all smart and wise-like.  At the time of writing I’ve listened to the album a fair few times and so far I’m just not [...]

This has been some day for new music. First Radiohead dropped not only a new song and video, but also their entire fucking album.  Then Keep Shelly In Athens dropped both jams from their latest single, and now new Lykke Li!  What’s next, Jimi Hendrix back from the dead to announce a summer tour with [...]

Photography by Emily Graham The more I listen to the few songs I’ve heard from Those Dancing Days‘ upcoming second album, the more I get excited for its release. There’s nothing groundbreaking or unique about their music, but that doesn’t meant they can’t make some of the best Danceabilly-Indie-Pop on the planet, and they do it [...]

You should know by now that myself and Confusion from Pigeons & Planes are in a race to the death to make Lykke Li our other half. There aren’t really any ground rules as yet so we’re probably treading some murky waters as to what’s “legal” and what’s “not”, but so far stalking, phone-tapping, and [...]

Apparently I’m From Barcelona’s 2008 album wasn’t liked by a lot of people but it’s the first music of theirs that I heard and I loved it almost instantly, so they’re all wrong. When songs are sung or yelled and it sounds like there are 27 people all screaming it at the same time in [...]

Photography by Emily Graham Seemingly, and hopefully, the ladies in Those Dancing Days go from strength to strength. With their debut album I was instantly hooked, and when we got our first feasting of new music from the band at the end of November with the Indie-Punk-Pop “Fuckarias” I was glad that they still had [...]

With about seven weeks left until the release of Lykke Li‘s much-anticipated second album “Wounded Rhymes”, “I Follow Rivers” is the third track to surface from said album after “Get Some” and “Paris Blue”. So far you can colour me excited.  ”Wounded Rhymes” is out February 28th, which is about sevens weeks away too many. [...]
