suburban kids with biblical names

[mynameisjonas]

have any of you guys in the UK heard of them? the swedish music press makes it sound like the´ve gotten pretty big (not top-10-big, more like indie-big) over there, but i don´t know how much truth there is too it.

"jesus and the deciples"
"Herrod and the hermits"
"john, paul, mark, luke & ringo"
"mozes & the crickets"

I thought this was going to be a Silver Jews thread.

sorry. but that´s obvioulsy where they got their name from.

I've only heard of them because I heard my Swedish friends talking about them. I don't know how big they are over here (i've been working a lot recently and I haven't seen much TV) but I like their stuff, it'd be nice to see them get some recognition over here.

On the topic of Swedish bands, Peter, Björn and John are starting to get kinda big over here, too - I think they play Belfast in December, it should be a good show.

yes please 


Troubles, no troubles, on the line, & I can't stand
to see you, I can't stand to see you when you're
crying at home. Scotch & penicillin, please try
Carlton, a cold black maple hanger & husbands
on the run I just got back from a dream
attack that took me by surprise & in there
I met a lady, her name was Shady Sides & she
said, "It's been evening all day long, evening
all day long & how can something so old be so
wrong". Sin and gravity drag me down to sleep
to dream of trains across the sea, trains across
the sea. Half hours on earth, what are
they worth, I don't know. In 27 years
I've drunk fifty thousand beers & they just
wash against me like the sea into a pier....
