I am on a serious cheesy synth pop kick lately and I am adding relatively unknown Swedish band Forest and Crispian to my collection. They create what they call “New Wave Barbershop Rock,” and basically what that means is that they are a synth-rock band with old-school harmonies. The focus here is on song-writing…and silliness. It’s a little bit Cramps, a little bit Elvis and a whole lotta Cars. “Linda” is a prime example of their ability to write a great, quirky pop song. The accompanying video features the band dressed as figure skaters, rocking out on the ice, serenading their love…who happens to be…
see for yourself:
