EP Review: Supersize Everything – Futuro

supersize Everything Futuro

 

Daniel Ahlgren, Marcus Dennerstedt and Andreas Säfström -aka- FUTURO – have perfectly signed off the year with their latest release, Supersize Everything.

The EP features the Swedish trio’s contemporary spin on the good old 80’s style synth pop, drawing inspiration from Empathy Test, Royksopp, Chvrches… and maybe a hint of A-Ha. A great addition to any new waver’s music collection.

Song of the Day: Won’t You Please (Tell Me Something) – Let’s Say We Did

Let's say we did

Today’s song is Won’t You Please (Tell Me Something) by Swedish Lo-Fi band, LET’S SAY WE DID. The single is coming from their four-track EP, Such A Shame released in May.

With strong influences  from American indie bands in the 1990’s, LET’S SAY WE DID has created guitar based, lo fi indie pop since 2008. Having risen from the ashes of previous projects, the five-piece band began perfecting and releasing music on their own record label Nesna Records. To date they have released two albums, three EPs, a series of singles and appeared on several compilation albums.

In addition to festival appearances such as at Umeå Open, Island in the Sun and Rookiefestivalen in Hultsfred, these smooth indie pop rockers have performed at numerous club gigs around Europe. Their smooth, chilled out productions earned them a personal invitation by British band YUCK as support act at their release party for the album, Glow & Behold . The band’s invitation extended to a collaboration as frontman Sebastian soothing vocals are featured on YUCK’s latest EP, Southern Skies.  As a band, LET’S SAY WE DID  collaborated with other acts such as WITHERED HAND, IDA MARIA and TOP SOUND.

Now I brought you up to speed with the band, have a blast at Won’t You Please (Tell Me Something). They’re one of the few bands today who put that real smoothness back into rock with the perfect balance of the drum and guitars.
