Three years ago, I wrote about a little Swedish outfit called The Bombhappies. I may have engaged in rigging some votes in their favor back in the day, and maybe that vote rigging led them to getting on some podcasts and on the front page of Export Music Sweden. That may have happened. Okay it did happen, and as a result The Bombhappies and I have maintained somewhat of a distance relationship when it comes to cool tunes. Imagine my surprise when two weeks ago I get an email from Joel Bervquist of The Bombhappies. Turns out [...]
Baltimore-based Dead Mellotron recently unleashed its superlative new number "Stranger" on the Internets. Fronted by Josh Frazier, who is abetted by mysterious backers CC, Aimee and Faith, the group's contemporary take on good 'ole chugging shoegaze rock accomplishes a lot with a relatively straightforward approach. The first 30 seconds of the cinematic "Stranger" -- which will feature on Dead Mellotron 's forthcoming third album Glitter -- relies on a facile electronic drum pattern that clatters behind a gorgeous curtain of reverb and auto-tune effects. A simple distorted guitar emerges and applies a steady rhythm that [...]
Haven't had anything that excites me hit my inbox lately, so I am scraping about on my favorite blogs. I found this nice one by Sweden's Bombhappies on It's A Trap! : Ants by Bombhappies
The Bombhappies are a five pice band out of Sweden that continue the tradition of great indie music pouring forth from the minds of the Swedes. Honestly these five lads have made a solid album in Ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ( itunes ).

Trust me, this is the cream of the crop. mp3 : The Bombhappies - And at Belle Inn, I Told You [...]

Take this band called The Bombhappies for example, who are native Swedish speakers singing rock music in English. This is a really cool band I got to know a few years ago, in fact I interviewed them back when I did a podcast called Blastcast. I transcribed the interview which we did around the time they were working on the recordings that eventually became the album "Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok". Now the Bombhappies are back in the studio once again to [...]

This 5 piece is a direct continuity of Sweden's awesome music scene, but these guys have actually been around for a while. Read all about it here . The Bombhappies have recently released Ok ok ok ok ok ok ok off of the Garden Recordings label and it's nothing short of a rad album! These guys are definitely indie but don't let that fool you; they keep the rock comin' heavy! It's a more mature sound then your typical pop. They display a well balanced mix of the [...]
