You really are one of the most PECULIAR characters I've ever come across on the internet.
August 30, 200618 yr IF this is indie, then it's the uncoolest video by an indie act ever :rofl: its one of those leftfield alternative 'twee-pop' groups that turn up once in a while in the NME and get a mention when they've not going on about the klaxons. file next to camera obscura, the field mice and Saint Etienne as well as the polyphonic spree.
August 31, 200618 yr i'd like to hear this album actually... always had a soft spot for swedes too :)

August 31, 200618 yr i didn't mind roxette even at the time! was in Sweden win they were huge actually... ...oh.. the skeletons in my closet.... haha fav swedish band tho is The Nomads. Mostly big in the late 80's and early 90's. Think Sisters of Mercy...
August 31, 200618 yr This is far more indie than half the $h!te that gets raved about in here. They're on an independent label for a start, and a Swedish one at that. Also, isn't having 29 members a little more risky than being yet another four piece band of kids with the right hairstyle (oh, and a drummer who does his own hair-thing) So, yes - it's indie...and the rest of the EP is ace too :)

Good on you mate! Award yourself a large cold beer at the bar
September 8, 200618 yr I honestly cant decide whether I love this or hate it to be honest... :lol: But their Indie credentials are undisputed and it certainly has more right to be in an "Indie" Forum than most other bands discussed here.... It kinda sounds like the sort of thing Wayne Coyne from Flaming Lips might do when he's in a happy, playful mood.....
