Hello Saferide has some new videos online for both "The quiz" and "My best friend": http://www.hellosaferide.com/?p=164
See the video for Hello Saferide's charming new single "The quiz": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r5lnQYwdbE (mp3 download on the right)
Of all the many, many artists that have come my way recently, Hello Saferide is definitely the surest bet for international success. She's already generated considerable buzz and for good reason: she's an amazing songwriter with a great voice and an incredibly charming personality. Just listen to "The quiz", the lead single from the "Would you let me play this EP ten times a day?" EP. The lyrics alone are just so undeniably cute, not to mention the irresistible, laidback delivery. I especially love the "scared of feet" line that references "Get sick soon" off the "Introducing..." album. Annika, I doubt you'll have any trouble finding someone to pick you up from here on out.

Burning Heart has announced that they have signed a license agreement with Deep Elm to release Sounds Like Violence's debut full-length in Europe. The band (fronted by Andreas Söderlund of Niccokick/Hello Saferide) garnered a lot of attention for their debut EP "The pistol" in 2004, so expectations are high for the follow-up. They will record at Mission Hall in Lund and it should be ready for a September release.
Hello Saferide has posted a brand new song from her forthcoming EP "Would you let me play this EP ten times a day" on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/saferide
