Band Stockholm Sweden Formed 2001

Shout Out Louds started with three childhood friends in Stockholm: Adam Olenius singing, Ted Malmros on bass and Carl von Arbin on guitar. The band came together in 2001, with drummer Eric Edman and keyboard player Bebban Stenborg jumping in soon after. The first three songs they finished made up a demo that reached Filip Wilén, owner of Sweden's Bud Fox Recordings, and he signed them in a hurry.
A debut EP followed in 2003, and they toured Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia behind it, trailing the singles "Hurry Up Let's Go" and "Shut Your Eyes". Howl Howl Gaff Gaff arrived that October and won them rave notices at home. It's Swedish pop with the sugar turned up and a bruise underneath: jangling guitars, bright keyboards and Olenius sounding lovelorn and elated at the same time. The band had that breathless, over-caffeinated energy from day one.
Listeners beyond Sweden caught on before long, and on rock radio it's "The Comeback" that did the traveling: a galloping, chiming rush that sounds like it's sprinting to catch the last train home.
