Samma vecka som ett bleknat svenskt band körs i eurorepris händer roligare saker för aktuell svensk musik på USAs östkust och i Canada:
Swedish sensation Jans Lekman is poised for American stardom utropar Daily Free Press 20 oktober.
”Maybe Scandimania really has taken over. With reason” recenserar Harvard Independent (Jens Lekman – Of lingonberries and love songs) samma dag.
”Gustav Ejstes, the mastermind behind Swedish psychedelic rock band Dungen, has got something special going on” skriver Sarah Tomlinson i Boston Globe: Swedish rock exuberance emanates from Dungen (18 okt).
”Mere years ago, the thought of allowing a publicly communist rock band to tour the United States unscathed would be thought of as ludicrous. Yet, the four Swedish men of The (International) Noise Conspiracy easily infiltrate the country where McCarthyism once reigned supreme. Instead of their CDs and merchandise being steamrolled or boycotted, most Americans welcome the radical group” skriver chartattack.com (Sweden’s (International) Noise Conspiracy Get The Message Out (17 okt). Hm, kanske inte ”most” ändå.
Village Voice är en aning syrliga: Swedish Garage-Rock Anarchists Totally Rock Huge Corporate Record Store (21 okt).(”Pure bullshit”, tycker några på infoshop.org om artikeln.)
Men ”All the hype surrounding Swedish group Smalltown has turned out to be well-founded”, skriver Edmonton Sun: Swedish punk strikes again (23 okt 2005).
Roligare än… ja, ni fattar.
