So here's a band that will wake you up on your Wednesday morning commute. 'Nancy's Dead' are from Stockholm, and they've been playing together in their current line-up since 2003, although the band was actually formed back in the early 1990's, which is some achievement in itself. Anyway it's always good to re-invent yourself once in a while, and 'Nancy's Dead' have just done exactly that, renaming themselves from their previous incarnation which was simply 'Nancy'.

So we're featuring 2 bands new to Nordic Music Review this morning, and we'll start off with a visit to Sweden. 'Slide' will probably be a new name to everyone actually as they only released their debut single last Friday, they're a duo consisting of Albin Skeppholm and Simon Werne, and their new release is the first from what's expected to be a debut EP released next Spring.

Our Friday tour of all genres and all Nordic countries takes us quickly to Norway, and a quite excellent single which has just arrived on our virtual doorstep. Sauropod are from Norway, and they're a 3 piece grunge rock band who have made a pretty big impression since they were formed a couple of years back, and are likely to make an even bigger impact going forward, if their new single is anything to go by. 'I Know Where You've Been' has a blistering guitar opening, but I j
