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...")...

FluxCapacitor says Did The Wannadies...die? Or are they still going? Hit is a great slice of power-pop. Ta!

ZenPop says Their last proper release was in 2002 ("Before and After")... Haven't heard much since then... anyone with any current info would be appreciated! (and thanks for the comment, Flux!)

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)

FastRMacR says Today (Tuesday) is 'not' a waste! Now that I've heard these tunes it's exactly the opposite. It must be the women, I mean, water. ;-) Thanks for the post!

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...
