Now when it
comes to my wanderings here over at Side One, I try my best
to provide an artist that’s not only hopefully new to you,
but something that’s relatively fresh to me too.
Today, while I still hope for the former, I can’t say
there’s truth in the latter. All I can say is I like
these guys a lot ... and they’re Swedish. Now I’ve
been wanting to post something Swedish for a while, because
if you have to have a list of things to associate with
Sweden, it should always include Volvo, Vikings, IKEA, and
damn good pop music.
Lacrosse is a Stockholm-based sextet that’s got me so
enamored and captivated, I may have just fallen for them at
a level befitting of the syndrome that carries their
hometown’s name. Looking into these guys, I find that
they still have a shadow of relative obscurity surrounding
them, and I can’t help but wonder why. Whhhyyyyy?
Lacrosse carries that undeniable tinge of Swedishness with
rock that’s sensible, clean, and modern. Yes, I might
have just described this band in terms that that happen to
befit an IKEA product, but trust me when I say this Swedish
export is set to last you well past any 90 day guarantee.
Lacrosse is fun, upbeat and hopefully helps to push you
riiight over the week hump that is Wednesday and straight
and clear to your weekend.
