when you know - you know

thanks to indie surfer for the heads up on this one...
The two members of The Sweet Serenades, Martin and Mathias, found each other for the first time in May 1991. They were both wearing the same CCCP-cap (a hip thing among pre teens in northern Sweden at the time) and riding similar BMX-bicycles. Ever since then they’ve been inseparable.

The Sweet Serenades was officially formed in Stockholm, Sweden 2002. The sound is mainly influenced by great songs, broken hearts, sexual frustration and musical acts as Tom Waits, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, ACDC, Eddie Meduza, ABBA, The Technicolors, The Perishers, The Shins and many more. They call it Jungle Rock. Or Testosterone Pop.

So far the band has performed around 50 shows and recorded 2 EPs.

Now what?
At the moment they're working on the debut album to be released in 2008 on Leon Records.
