A Nighthawk, the husband/wife musical duo of Ted Malmros (Shout Out Louds) and Sarah Snavely (Dag för Dag), have finished up work on their debut EP "Until I faltered I wasn't free" and are currently looking into how they want to release it. The clip above is the first sample.

First time I heard the name Wowser Bowser I couldn't help thinking that this had to be a novelty act. But it's not. Actually Woswer Bowser writes some pretty good pop songs; despite the horrible band name! Someone somewhere (cannot recall where) compared them to Shout Out Louds . Which actually is a pretty good (that's lots of actually and pretty good's) comparison! Check them out!

Atlanta’s Wowser Bowser sound kind of like a cross between Throw Me The Statue and the Shout Out Louds to me, which is good because I love both of those bands, and I really dig the synth-infused vibe this southern quartet have going on. “E Dialeda Ho” begins with a buzz and beat that would [...]

Une bonne découverte aujourd’hui avec Mondrian , un groupe français basé à Paris. Au début de l’année, ils ont sorti un nouvelle EP, Flood of Kool . Ce n’est pas leur premier essai, puisque que le groupe a déjà enregistré deux EP de qualité auparavant. Il y a vraiment de l’élégance dans leur musique, on dirait que chaque note a été minutieusement réfléchi. Pas trop rêveuses, ces six pistes coulent tranquillement mais on regrettera presque un manque de violence et d’urgence. Cela reste vraiment excellent et séduira les fans de Belle & Sebastian ou Shout out Louds  sans problème.  Un petit bijou pop donc! ф  Nice discovery today with Mondrian , a French band based in Paris. At the beginning of the month, they released a new EP, Flood of Kool . This is not their first try, the pop band already released two EP.  There is elegancy in their sound, it seems that each notes played is thought. Not too dreamy, these six tracks flows with tranquility but we may regret a lack of violence and urgence. Anyway, it remains an excellent EP, and Belle & Sebastian or Shout out Louds fans will enjoy Mondrian! A little pop treasure! Mondrian - More of the sweetest thing Mondrian - Paris <p>&amp;amp;amp;lt;p ...

It’s a new year and one sure to bring life-changing tours and mind-blowing new releases, but first, a sad note. Studio (pictured) have announced their split. Gothenburg residents Rasmus Hägg and Dan Lissvik formed Studio in 2001 as noisy krautrock imitators only to reinvent themselves and ride to prominence on the crest of the Nordic balearic wave of the late naughts. They leave a slew of  excellent remixes of artists such as Kylie, Shout Out Louds and Love Is All, but only one official rel ...

Sweden's amazing new duo, Serenades -- featuring Adam Olenius (Shout Out Louds) and the incredible singer/songwriter Markus Krunegard-- made their stateside debut in New York this week. If you missed it, that's okay. The band is inviting you to enjoy a free download of "Oceans" from their Come Home

Sometimes just one band isn’t enough, so the Shout Out Louds’ Adam Olenius has teamed up with fellow Swede Markus Krunegård to form Serenades. The talented singer-songwriters already have an EP, Come Home, and a full-length is on its way next year. In the meantime, they’ve come to our shores to play a few shows, [...]

Die schwedischen Indie-Popper You Say France & I Whistle veröffentlichen mit "When Lovers Die" ein brandneues Musikvideo. Der Song ist ein erster Vorbote aus dem am 20. Januar bei SPV Recordings erscheinenden Debüt-Album "Angry Men". Darauf präsentiert das Quintett lockerleichten Power-Pop, der sich musikalisch eingängig, tanzbar und vielseitig gibt und allen Fans von Bands wie Crystal Fighters oder Shout Out Louds gefallen dürfte. Die erste Single "When Lovers Die" präsentiert sich bereits als luftig leichtes Hörvergnügen. Das heitere Video ist daran nicht ganz unschuldig, spielen doch neben der Band auch eine ganze Reihe Plüschtiere eine entscheidene Rolle. Doch seht selbst: You ...
