Club 8: “Stop Taking My Time”
Swedish indie-pop duo Club 8 thrive on their musical versatility. They’ve dabbled in everything from bossa nova to trip-hop throughout their career, inviting comparisons to Portishead and The Cardigans at any given moment (yet sounding nothing like either of those bands at any other given […]
Coming To America (Maybe)
Rumor has it that Swedish footballer Anton Hysén is considering an offer to play professional soccer in the United States. For those who aren’t in the know, Anton came out to Swedish magazine Offside back in March of this year, so this would make him […]

Aural Only: Robyn
Are you ready for us to shove more Robyn tracks down your throats? The Swedish pop star is preparing to release the final installment of her Body Talk trilogy, and she’s kicking things off with a brand new single called “Indestructible”. It’s almost as awesome […]
Aural Only: Ace of Base
Ace of Base is back, bitches! Well, sort of. The group’s original lead vocalists, Linn and Jenny Berggren, have been replaced by Clara Hagman and Julia Williamson. Apparently, one of these chicks appeared on the Swedish version of American Idol, but those details will probably […]
