With a spastic energy akin to Arcade Fire and Modest Mouse, The Sweet Serenades continue to form the mold of their Swedish indie pop day by day and new listener by new listener. Riding the release of their First Taste EP last year and invigorated by a new album slated for release in September of this year, the duo from Stockholm are on the move.
First meeting back to 1991, frontmen Martin Nordvall (vocals/rhythm guitar) and Mathias Näslund (lead guitar) didn't materialize The Sweet Serenades until 2002. With the aid of various friends on all of their "guest" instruments, the guys mesh emotions of sexual frustration, failed relationships and an overall enjoyment of their creations in their songs.
Claiming influences from The Boss, Arcade Fire, Kings of Leon, Stones and The Hives to name a few bands, The Sweet Serenades will be releasing their first full-length album off of Leon Records. They can also be found on myspace.
Although currently recording the new album, Nordvall will be touring as the bassist with Pelle Carlberg in Germany. Check out Pelle here.
