The Sun Days – Don’t Need To Be Them
I only mentioned The Sun Days the other day and here is another new track. Don’t Need To Be Them has a strong 90’s feel about it and it owes more than a nod in the direction of fellow Swedes The Cardigans. It’s the 2nd ear-worthy track from this bunch and let’s hope there is more on the way. Facebook Continue reading The Sun Days – Don’t Need To Be Them

First up is Makthaverskan who released their second album Makthaverskan II early last year. Not sure why I didn’t mention it at the time but it’s a cracker. Also check out the Something More 7″ featuring an excellent live version of Inside of Me taken from their début album called erm Makthaverskan! Pure indiepop. Gothenburg’s School have released two excellent digital singles in the past month. Début So Long, with it’s tinge of dream … Continue reading The Luxury Gap
