      I found a record called 'Real Cool Time' which is a comp of great Swedish garage punk bands some of which sounds like the music the kid is playing on his cassette playing in 'Let the Right One In'

      i know they were already mentioned, but everything the Heartattacks put out rules. By far one of my favourite Garage Punk bands of the 00's.

      Let's keep this topic about Sweden, guys. Not Norway, Finland, Denmark, etc. Thanks!

      Also, the Kissettes's back band is the Nomads.  "The Kissettes A' Go-Go" is a pretty good single. (but it's pricey now!!!)

      And Robert Johnson And Punchdrunks is(was) a rockin' inst band.  They have some good tunes!

      You're right. The Nomads did a single , included in Next Big Thing Magazine , in the Late 80's , as The Screaming Dizbusters. Of course , they covered "Next Big Thing" . "Yeh , I knocked 'em dead in Dallas. They did'nt know we were Swedes.".

      Aren't the Screaming Dizbusters actually the Nomads? Thought I read that somewhere before (never heard 'em, though)...

      Always good to hear Dungen... heard them on BBC Radio 6 today - 'Gjort Bort Sig', on Stuart Maconie's Freakzone and then later (not so freaky though!) Life On Earth! 'Summer Lover' on the Lauren Laverne Show.  On the subject of Swedish psych, there's a good article / interview with The Nomads in the latest issue of Vive Le Rock! magazine, and whilst I'm at it, I'll get some gratuitous self-plugging in, check out the 'Everythang's Groovy Baby!' grebo article - also in the same issue!

      I picked up something by The Texas Motherfuckers. Sounded pretty OK, and it was cute as it had a little note explaining that they had been playing all over Sweden and Denmark at the time of putting the CD out.

      One band I played on my most recent episode of "40 Oz. Nonsense" are the Gravel Guts. Over on their Bandcamp page, they've got 3 albums available for download, and all free. Here's the link: http://gravelguts.bandcamp.com/
