Those Dancing Days
s/t
self-released

Sweet as apple-pie pop from Stockholm highschool girls, led by a pounding Hammond organ. These four tracks emulate some of the true twee pop greats such as Bis and Girlfrendo. "Those Dancing Days", the northern soul inspired song which the band are named after, could easily fit onto the soundtrack of "Austin Powers". "Hitten", possibly the band's signature tune, is a fizzy pop number which will have you singing along instantly. If this band are not the next big thing, I am willing to bet my life savings that one of the members of this group will feature on a Top Twenty selling Swedish album within the next five years.
