Tiger Lou:
Meet Rasmus Kellerman. This is the guy behind Tiger Lou. Its a band; for all intents and purposes, he's the band. He writes the songs, plays and produces them. For now. Kellerman will tell you not to look too close at »just an indie band, like many other indie bands, with a big heart.« But not listening closely to Tiger Lou would be to sell it short. The Loyal, the bands second album, is on the surface, just music. A bunch of songs written by some guy from Oxelösund, Sweden. Only these tunes breathe, they're dynamic, alive. Straight from the heart of some guy now living in Stockholm. And he wouldn't say the band had heart if, to some extent, he wanted you to know the music was sincere.

MOONBABIES:
Carina Johansson and Ola Frick enjoy themselves the most, either on stage or being in their studio surrounded by electronics, microphones and cables. They met a late night in Malmö, Sweden, around 10 years ago, and discovered a strikingly similair taste for great pop songs. After a long hot summer of performing their favorite covers, while on an inter-rail busking trip all over Europe, it seemed inevitable to start a band together. Five years later, the bands material started to take shape and find its exclusiveness. Band-members came and left, until Ola and Carina eventually decided to continue as a duo, and in 2001 their debut album 'June and Novas' was released, under the name Moonbabies.

SEVEN FEET FOUR:
Six european tours, a reputation of being one of the most explosive live acts out there, still all too few people know about Seven Feet Four. It's a shame, but it is going to change. The new EP entitled "To Kill Is Easy" contains 4 knockout songs, in the vein of And you will know us by the trail of dead and Fugazi. If there is any cell in your body that likes hard alternative rock, you're in for a treat.

FIREFOX AK
After four years in London, singing in the triphop collective Anamorphic, Andrea Kellerman longed to go back home to Sweden. She walked past a fire hydrant and saw a word printed on it: Firefox. Andrea immediately stole the name and made it hers. She wrote songs of her own and was planning to start a solo project. She picked up an acoustic guitar, and started playing her songs. Sure, it sounded good: she had the voice, the melodies, the lyrics. But something was missing. It all sounded too nice. Andrea Kellerman has never been a fan of making it easy for herself. She wouldnt settle for nice. She took out her electric guitar instead, and started working with Viktor Ginner, an old friend from school. Together, Andrea and Viktor placed Andreas soft voice on a landscape of beats, and keyboards. And suddenly, everything fell into place. Fast forward: two years later, and Firefox AK is just about to release her first full length album: Madame, madame! It features ten tracks of melodic electronic pop, hard and soft at the same time, a whole new mixture of warm and cold that will leave you with a feeling of not knowing exactly what you just heard.
