The Swedish band Florence Valentin has been signed up for the huge Hultsfred Festival held every year in Sweden. “Varby Grad” is nice mix of Clash-type anthemic brit-rock with the snazzy pop horns of Swedish pop. The band seems unsigned but I’m guessing Labrador is knocking on their front door on the basis of this song alone (psst there’s another great song available on their MySpace page).
Here’s the little bio material I found on the band in Swedish. Translate?
Det började som en inbjudan för mer än ett år sen när Danne och Cezary fortfarande delade ungkarlslya tillsammans i Vårby Gård. Det lät mer som ett hot! Nu har vi rockat i Crilles studio, och fått ihop en hel platta. “Pokerkväll i Vårby Gård” släpps i juni!
