Those Dancing Days : S/T EP

A few months back, I heard this great song, but had no idea what its name was or who wrote it. I started inquiring with every music geek I know since that time, but had little success. I finally crossed paths with it again last week. I found out that the song name was, Hitten, and the band who wrote the track was an all-girl group, Those Dancing Days. Obviously, immediately after I found this out I got my hands on their EP and found out they are more than just one song.

Those Dancing Days are Swedish imports - yes Sweden, like semmingly every other good band of the moment. The thing that caught me completely off guard was the fact that all of the girls in group are still teenagers. They've been described as Deborah Harry backed by Elvis Costello's Attractions and Bow Wow Wow. Lofty comparisons, but if you ask me, Linnea Jönsson's vocals make this band more reminiscent of the great soul music of the 60's that everyone has been resurrecting of late. Fair warning to anyone that listens to Hitten, its likely you'll have it on repeat for quite a while, then find yourself humming it unconsciously at many points afterwards. The entire song is a hook and it will make you snarl at the garbage they play on commercial radio these days.

Those Dancing Days are currently working on their debut full-length to be released on Wichita Recordings. Their 5 song self-titled EP is available now. Find the mp3 and video for Hitten, below.
