Northern Portrait are a relatively new indie pop band. They formed only two years ago, yet as you’ll find out (or perhaps, as you already know) they have released two EPs and are to release their very first album. They come from Denmark and are on the look for the best pop song. Apparently, they have come quite close to this. If you want to check some of their so far released tracks, just go…
This indie pop group comes from LA, California. “The Tartans” is formed by Brian C., Jesse, Lon, Yvonne and Brian Y. “Full of soul and full of fun” (as the YAY! Records have described them), they use 6 & 12 string guitar, bass, drums, glockenspiel, melodica, harmonica, keys, saxophone and next to their nice, melodic and most soothing vocals, they make one of the best indie pop tracks I have so far heard. I could…
stands for the Stockholm-based solo performance of Magnus Sätterström . This Swedish indie pop performer has released a couple of songs that could perfectly get squeezed among the good pop songs we’ve listened to lately. Different keyboards get mixed with guitars and a variety of computer editings. Don’t be fooled – it wouldn’t fit under the electronica label or something equally artificial.

The band was last formed (well, theoretically, it still is) by Emma Gaze, Mia Clarke, Verity Susman and Ros Murray. There have also been other past members, such as Tracey…

The indie pop band comes from Stockholm (Sweden). They began as a three-piece band – Victoria Bergsman, Maria Eriksson, and Lisa Milberg – but have had as many as eight members at once. Presently, the band members are as follow: – Lisa Milberg (vocals, drums, etc),…
This name should ring a bell by now. They’re from the UK and have already released three 7″ singles and two albums – “The Best Party Ever” in 2005 and “The Law of the Playground” earlier this year (march 9th in the UK and april 14th in the USA). The band is actually just two members: Peter Hobbs and Jof Owen. Jof writes all of the lyrics and is the voice you hear in their…
Make yourselves a favour, and before starting to read this article, go to JJ’s MySpace and listen to his songs while reading the following interview. They’re really good pop songs. Just as You! like them. And while listening, go through this article and read about his music, his future plans, when he plans on releasing his next album and so many more, including his hot party track list and his favourite bands. Zme: „If we…
I have recently made a review of Liechtenstein’s album “Survival Strategies in a Modern World” (you can read the article HERE) and I decided that it was deserving of much more than just a review. So an interview with the girls was definitely the next step. Renée was so kind to answer all of the questions and I hope you’ll enjoy reading this band’s future endeavours, musical preferences and their personal qualities. They seem to…
