They focus on Swedish pop, indie, electronica, etc and they are one of the few blogs I'm sure to check out daily. Who knew there was good Swedish music other than Ace of Base? (click the banner above to see the banner in action) <br /><br />Who are some of my favorite Swedish bands? Easy. <br /><br />1. The Concretes (well, until <a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/node/37547">this</a> happened)<br />2. Sondre Lerche <br />3. Dungen<br />4. The Sounds (guilty pleasure)<br />5. Shout out Louds<br />6.
