Anyone looking for stocking fillers for Christmas might want to check out the third release from Dublin's yesboyicecream records - the 'Rent A Wreck EP' by Sweden's Suburban Kids With Biblical Names.
It should be available in your local indies & HMVs (distributed by Cargo - Catalogue number YBI03CD).
Here's how the good people of Norman Records have described the EP:
"Swedish plonk-fuzz pop from SUBURBAN KIDS WITH BIBLICAL NAMES. This is total fun. It's proper lo-fi joyous indie pop from the soul with a real dash of heart warming humour. 'Rent a Wreck' is like Moldy Peaches crossed with the Radio Dept to give ya'all an incredibly loose frame of reference. It also sounds like it's been on the lash with Anthony for two days. There's that charming off key tremor in the vocals. 'Love Will' is a kinda shuffling Violent Femmes bar-room clapalong that just delights me to the core. 'Do it all don't do it all' has a celebratory mountain gazing crooner thang to accompany it's intimate Smithsian joy (yes, a paradox, i know). They definitely have complete magic on their side this duo. The closer once again makes me think of Orange Juice in places but with flutes. This is what indie is about. Not the haircuts, the "scenesters", the limited edition stencilled 7" with free sticker, the f**king NME. This is the REAL DEAL. Trust me. If you're not moved by this 4 track EP then you're into the wrong music."
