Posted about 1 year ago
Sweden has given us some amazing music over the years... add to the list the very underrated power pop band... The Wannadies!Have a triple dose of their catchy, crunchy goodness... (and no. They're no way as dour as their name implies...)First up... "Hit"... a rousing song with a perfect interlude ("Mondays...")...

    dachmo says Thanks I just picked up "Before and After" over on eMusic. They've been around since the late '80s, couldn't find out if they're still together or not though. Hey **Fluxie** are you wearing a headband in your avatar? Like the dude from Loverboy?

    Bartleby says Spunky Swedes, for sure. Like the man said, you mean there were power-pop bands in Sweden before the Hives (all right, technically those plonkers do "garage"... all right, all right then)

    goodmusiconly says Great stuff here, thanks again ZP!! Per Wiki, "The band are currently writing and recording songs for their seventh album and are preparing to release a twenty track best-of." I don't find any mention of that on their web page, but we shall see...
