There was truth in advertising in Love Is All's 2006 debut full-length/breakthrough Nine Times That Same Song , but that's fine -- it's a fun song. More recently, the Swedish quintet shifted things up with that "Darling Nikki " cover (and the other covers on the five-song tour EP), but they're back to usual form with their sophomore collection, A Hundred Things Keep Me Up at Night . We've alrea...

So you’d think when the Swindie band Love is All caught my eye, I’d atone by devoting this blog post to their uniquely Scandinavian roots. I can tell you they are from Gothenburg, and I have looked at a dot with that eponymous title on an array of Google Image Search maps.
