A Helsingborg band that kept the new wave spirit alive through lineup changes and vocal surgery.
If you want to hear what they're about, start with 'Great Day' or 'Hope Your Happy Now.' Both have that driving, slightly anxious energy that defines their best stuff.
When 'Dying to Say This to You' dropped in 2006, it felt like a jolt of energy from a different era. Tracks like 'Painted by Numbers' and 'Great Day' had that sharp, danceable guitar sound that wasn't really in fashion at the time. They weren't just doing retro, they were keeping a certain kind of post-punk alive, and they kept at it for years.
They formed in 2001 and put out the 'Living in America' EP the next year. After 'Dying to Say This to You' in 2006, they released albums steadily through 2017, including 'Crossing the Rubicon' and 'Things We Do for Love.' Maja Ivarsson's vocal surgery in 2012 forced some canceled shows, but the band kept working.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
