The Lovekevins
Blame the English 7"
self-released
I'm not really sure what we're supposed to blame the English for. Coldplay? Steak and kidney pie? Tony Blair? But I do know that The Lovekevins are a new upcoming band from Sweden, and they're excellent! I've been blessed to see them twice this summer, and both of those performances blew me away. This seven inch got three excellent poppy songs that are so catchy it hurts, and one ("Taking David (by strategy)") that's sounds much murkier (a tiny bit like Radio Dept.), but it's nonetheless great - just too bad it's so short. If The Lovekevins will ever release an album that will put both of these sides of them on display, I'm certain it's going to be magnificent.
