I suspect I'm not the only one who reviews all-girl rock bands with a higher-than-usual bout of optimism, a utopian belief that one day chicks can tip the profane masculine iceberg known as R'N'R -- but who also, when duly disappointed, applies as swift and sharp double-edged Kenzo sword. As a disclaimer, I'd like to say I began listening to this record in a key of "10". Anyone who's been privy to modern chick bands -- yes, 80% of which I believe royally suck -- still, without a doubt know the two stalwarts from the 2000s onwards are: The [...]
Sahara Hotnights will be taking an extended break after the conclusion of their fall tour. 'Tis a shame I think since their latest record is pretty great.
Sahara Hotnights have been sort of treading water with their last few records in the sense that they've all left me feeling little more than indifference, but their new self-titled release is a triumph. It's just so refreshing to hear a confident and mature rock record, something of a rarity nowadays. Also, as someone who used to bemoan the lack of youthful vigor so present in their early career, it's a pleasure to hear them move beyond. Inspiring even. Many bands don't make it past those awkward teenage years and, if they do, rarely do they come out on [...]

Sahara Hotnights will be releasing a new single called "Oh's" at the end of the month with a new self-titled album to follow in late May, their sixth album overall.
While it may seem as though all the great bands come from the U.S. or Britain (ok Bono... and Ireland), there is actually a strong rock presence in the Scandinavian country of Sweden as well. With a very diverse music scene, Sweden's melodic mixture includes polka groups, punk rockers, pop stars, folk singers and a thousand different heavy metal bands. They also are home to a number of alternative/indie rock groups who are putting out great music with a sound and voice all their own. We showcase ten of those artists in our Sweden Rocks! Playlist.

"We've got one chance left to turn it all around" Imagine my delight when discovering that two fifths of this new Swedish supergroup are Erik Stenemo (from Melody Club) and Josephine Forsman (from Sahara Hotnights). That alone caught my attention and guaranteed that I was going to sit up and take Casablanca seriously. The band hearkens back to the over-the-top hair metal of the 80's and is very authentic in that. They really go for the lighters-in-the-air anthem template with Downtown , a song that sounds a little like The Ark in parts--the dramatic, slowed [...]
Hi! My name is Desirée and I'm new here at BIYL. It may take a post or two for me to get into my groove, but I'm excited to be able to share with you some of the awesome music that crosses my path each and every day. I grew up in various cities just outside of Toronto, Canada, which fostered a love for the brilliantly diverse music that comes out of this country – from the east coast to the west and everything in between. Indie, Rock, Punk, Folk, Hip-hop – there are no genre limitations to [...]
[We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.] Haven't had a chance until now to tout the new Cave Singers' sophomore album, "Welcome Joy" [download below], a nice slice of laid-back folk that came out in August. The Seattle band hits the Echo tonight. ... Swedish quartet Sahara Hotnights kind of vanished from my radar after their 2004 album (a memorable tour with the Hives), but this year they released a new album "What If Leaving Is a Loving Thing" (produced by Bjorn Yttling of Peter [...]
Image From Here I don't know, maybe it's just me but it seems to me that things move at such a rapid speed these days that I can't keep up. Everything is instant and moves so quickly. The days fly by in a blur and it just astounds me how time passes so quickly. I can't believe it is summer already for God's sake. And we have everything available, ready at our fingertips. The social networking tools we have are just incredible. There's MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, email and tools like StumbleUpon [...]
Hard to believe this came out 10 years ago already. Sahara Hotnights have come a long way as a band, but they'll never recapture the vibe that made their debut so special. There's a freshness and an energy to it that's impossible to fake, impossible to resurrect. In many ways they're a better band nowadays - better musicians, better pop craftsmen and so on -- but here, at their rawest, more premature stage, you knew they had something and that's why they blew up almost immediately. Of course, being a band of attractive females didn't hurt [...]

Videon till nya singeln från Sahara Hotnights. Låten är bekant för dem som sett Saharas live det senaste året. De tar Dusty Springfields gamla låt, kör den genom ett rockfilter och lugnar ner den ett par snäpp. Det ser även ut som de besökt samma skogsdunge som Kent i Vinternoll2. Regissör är Marcus Söderlund.
