Toronto - If I were to ask you about a few good things to come out of Sweden a few years ago, all you would say is probably ‘blond girls, meatballs and ikea’. You might say Peter Forsberg or Mats Sundin too, but point is, nowadays you can add ‘great music’ to this list. Most of us already know about the Shout Out Louds, Sambasassdeurs, Radio Dept, Club 8 and many others as bands from Sweden we know and love. Well, theres a newish band I am quite excited about. They are called Lacrosse. Props to Gary for pointing me towards this band. Young padwan has done well. Anyways, here is the bands myspace intro:

“Lacrosse Lacrosse is the national game of Canada. It is also the hometown of serial killer Ed Gein. But above all, Lacrosse is five boys and one girl making fantastic pop music. From a basement in Stockholm, Lacrosse brings you love and happiness in songs so catchy that you can’t help singing along! ”

It’s quite true, the songs I’ve heard have all been fantastic. Give it a listen. You can also listen to more of their songs off their website, although it is all in Swedish. Here is the link to that site (you can download another good song - sunshiner off there as well)
