The Mary Onettes are a band from Sweden and they remind me of everything that has ever been good about music. It is very true that their music is not groundbreaking. Listening to them makes you feel like you just took a time machine back to the 1980's. It's cool though, because that is what I love about them. They took all of the elements that I loved from that era and combined them to form music that is instantly familiar and suitable for just about everything. Not to mention catchy. There is no denying their influences, but why [...]
A stark and powerful new video on the oddities of attraction, from Lisa Lindley-Jones and the W.I.Z.... Lisa Lindley-Jones "Step Back" dir. by W.I.Z. As Lisa Lindley-Jones stands somberly in a nearby alley, holding a bright flare and only partially obscured by shadow, her police officer pursuer walks by without even a glance in her direction. The two are so close at [...]
apologies for being MIA these days, but i've been preoccupied with a few personal things and haven't really had the chance to upload new stuff. so for that reason, may i offer up some lovely legitimate freebies just for you! from filter mag kate havnevik - new day [totally hoping to cash in before the real bjork returns, this is a nice lite-substitute] from insound peter bjorn and john - let's call it off [i came in late with this band, but my current [...]
Despite being ejected from 2 labels since their birth in Jönköping seven years ago the Mary Onettes always knew that persistence would be the key to their survival. Their faith was rewarded when the coolest label on the planet (perhaps) Labrador signed them up. And now as Labrador celebrates 100 releases the Mary Onettes get the No. 87 slot in a quite immaculate collection of songs. The band
Noch extremer als bei den Alben ist das "Problem" der vergessenen Beiträge natürlich bei den Einzelsongs . Ich weiß nicht, wie viele Lieder ich 2006 neu kennen gelernt habe, es waren sicherlich mindestens 2000, eher mehr. Deshalb ist es klar, dass die folgende Auflistung der meiner Meinung nach herausragenden Songs 2006 längst nicht vollständig ist - und die Reihenfolge ist oft auch nicht als in Stein gemeißelt zu betrachten. Letztlich sind alle diese Lieder großartig! Drum nun ... Vorhang auf für die Crème de la crème der vergangenen 12 Monate (die Lieder, die es derzeit noch frei als mp3 [...]
É meu amigo, parece que a Suécia é o novo celeiro de bandas novas e boas, não que antes não tivesse, até porque o indiepop sueco sempre foi o que teve as melhores melodias de um jeito bem simples, mas agora é pra valer. A todo momento surge um nome diferente: El Perro Del Mal, [...]
You could think it's the 80's, yet it's really the end of 2006 and a band from Sweden that started making music in 2000. Yet it feels so Smiths and Cure which is usually a good thing. I don't really remember how I found this band, yet sounds such as this catch my attention especially because they are somewhat out of the typical indie norm right now. (For myself at least) If you like The Cure and the Smiths and that day and age, you'll like these couple tracks from The Mary Onettes. [...]
Ce blog a pris un virage pas vraiment contrôlé. Je vais essayer de calmer le jeu, en esperant que les visiteurs de la première heure viennent encore quelques fois par ici. The Album Leaf ( MySpace ) ont sorti un album cet été (automne?). Le single "Always for you" a été accompagné d'un joli clip. [...]
The world's finest purveyor of pop music, Labrador, has done it again. Their latest signing and release by the band The Mary Onettes just came out and from what I've heard, it's great. Labeling their sound as a cross between Echo, JAMC and New Order, unlike a lot bands, they actually seem to pull it off. But I do have to confess, I haven't bought the full EP yet. I'm still waiting for a local record store to get it in, or I'll order it the next time there's a new Legends release. For the time being, you can also [...]
I’ve always loved Labrador records. Right now three of their artists have a new album out on the shelves: [Ingenting], Loveninjas and The Mary onettes. Check out these tunes from their new releases: The Mary Onettes - Lost Lovenijas - Wanna be like Johnny C [Ingenting] - Punkdrömmar [Ingenting] - Släpp in solen You can also stream the whole albums [...]
The Mary Onettes son una formación sueca cuyo sonido está cláramente inspirado en el de bandas británicas de los 80 y los primeros 90 como Echo and The Bunnymen, The Cure, New Order, Stone Roses o The Jesus And Mary Chain. Aunque lo intentaron anteriormente con una multinacional, es ahora cuando el sello sueco Labrador les da la oportunidad de desarrollar con libertad su trabajo. Lost , además de ser una estupenda canción, es el tÃtulo de su nuevo Ep. * The Mary Onettes-Lost
Aside from IKEA, Sweden has definitely become a vibrant place for some interesting music within the past couple of years. An interesting phenomena as the sound is quite diverse and draws its influence from various genres. Perhaps one could parallel how the way the IKEA concept works? IKEA contends that it has been a pioneering force in sustainable approaches to mass consumer culture. Kamprad refers to the concept as "democratic design," meaning that the company applies an integrated approach to manufacturing and design. (wikipedia) Well, maybe that's a stretch, but then again, I find the music [...]
>> Next week yet another Depeche Mode hits collection will get released. We're not exactly certain how many such collections have preceded this one, because it depends on what you do and don't count, but we've always maintained that a person could live a long and full life just owning the amazing live set 101 and Violator . Even so, Messrs. Gahan, Gore and etc. have included in the new collection the heretofore unreleased track "Martyr," an outtake from 2005's Playing The Angel , and you can stream the video for it below in [...]
Both Fire Escape Talking and The Rain Fell Down blogs have posted their reviews of the C86 event that took place last Saturday night. ______________________________ ___________________________ The Mary Onettes released their debut single for Labrador earlier this week.

Nachdem der Kollege ASB gerade The Smiths aufarbeitet könnte ihm auch gefallen was The Mary Onettes da fabriziert haben. Soeben ist beim schwedischen Indie-Label Labrador, wo u.a. The Legends und The Radio Dept. untergekommen sind, die erste E.P. Lost erschienen. Und die vier Songs baden geradezu in 80er inspirierter Morrissey/Marr- Gitarrenmelancholie. Der flott tanzbare Titeltrack ist [...]

bend sjajnog imena The Mary Onettes je nakon proslogodisnjeg debut EP, i pored dobrih kritika gotovo izbacen sa jedne od velikih etiketa, sto su celnici diskograske kuce Labrador pozdravili, dovodjenem ovog sastava pod svoje okrilje. gazde ove diskografske kuce, koja je mozda i najbolji promoter svedske muzicke scene van granica njihove domovine, imaju nepogresiv osecaj kada su novi bendovi u
![Labrador strikes again: neue Songs von [Ingenting] und Mary Onettes zu verschenken](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/261756_lg.jpg)
Was täte ich nur ohne Morten ? In seinem gestrigen Blogbeitrag machte er mich nämlich darauf aufmerksam, dass die schwedische Indiepop/rockband [Ingenting] seine neue Single «Punkdrömmar» (was das wohl heißt? ;-) auf dem famösen Label Labrador veröffentlicht hat. Und nicht nur das - den Song gibt es sogar umsonst als MP3-Download! Zu allem Überfluss ist er auch noch richtig cool, hat etwas von den frühen Kent, also ist das Runterladen Pflicht. Und wenn Ihr schon mal auf der Labrador-Site seid, könnt Ihr ja auch gleich noch einen Song des Labelneulings The Mary [...]
Today's band isn't from Ireland, but that hasn't stopped them from making some of the catchiest pop songs to have ever come out of Sweden. And that my friends is a bold statement with all of the bands we're hearing from these days. Honestly, is there anything the Swedes can't do with some music instruments and a notebook full of English lyrics? The Mary Onettes are yet another great band to come out of Gothenburg. That city has to have more great musicians per square mile than any place else on Earth. Here's a [...]
