The Sunshine are Not Lame
|
|
If you still haven't purchased all your christmas present. Please pay our friends at Not Lame a visit. This is how they sum up our music: "Swedish import, amazing new pop band...and find for Not Lamers! Pure melodic pop with a modern poppy garage twist that blends Blur("Modern Life Is Rubbish"-era), The Monkees/Lovin` Spoonful, The Supernaturals(anyone remember them?), The Dum Dums(ditto), Silver Sun with pop garage-feel of bands like Soundtrack Of Our Lives, Mando Diao and The Strokes. Pure Power Pop for 2006!" We can't do anything but agree.

The Sunshine are Kool Kats
|
|
And this is from Kool Kat: "Absolutely brilliant debut from these Swedish popsters whose moniker fits like a glove! The contents are nothing but pure, perky "Sunshine"-filled pop! The New Wave-ish, handclap-filled "Sabotage" is classic Brit Pop (think Blur, Menswear, Bluetones) all the way! The chorus hook and harmonies of "She's My Television" is very reminiscent of ELO's "Evil Women" - and that's just fine with us! " |
