Trouble and Strife
2006.05.14
I don’t know much about Trouble and Strife except they are from Stockholm and they write some incredibly fun tunes. And yes, they are Joakim and Jacob, they both play guitar, and are assisted by a mean-sounding drum machine. Their song, “I got a plan” reminds me very much of a great NYC band named The Metric Mile which has a similar if somewhat softer and more serious air about them.
Check out Trouble and Strife on their homepage or visit them in MySpace. On both sites you can download more songs for your listening enjoyment, but here are the songs that I appreciate the most. Indeed be sure to check them all out, they all rock, in their own special naive indie-pop way.
Trouble and Strife – I got a plan
Trouble and Strife – He never changed
Trouble and Strife – New shoes
It won’t hurt either to check out this excellent The Metric Mile song, since it sounds so swedish:
The Metric Mile – Amateurs
