About Me

“Check out swedishpolarbears.com for the absolute best mid-period teenage fanclub songs you never heard -anyone who loves powerpop MUST check it out!! pure heaven!” (abolutepowerpop).
“Any of these songs would not stand out on the Fannies best work” (turqousedays).
“Did the new Big Star record, or the db's reunion disc or the upcoming 3 disc Sloan extravaganza not live up to your hopes and dreams for what intelligent power pop should sound like? If so perhaps you'd like to hear some of the music from Swedish Polarbears” (swedplease).
“Oh sweet Sweden, you’re officially forgiven for Europe” (writenoise).
The story so far: The year was 1869. It was a good year for Sweden them days. They had no snow, they had no summer, in fact they had nothing. All they had was a big bowl of onion soup. Many people in Sweden were confused. They did not understand this season. Where was the sun? They chanted. Where was the rain? And yet, all they had was this bowl of onion soup. Three years later, after many years of darkness and this onion soup, a wise man appeared. All the people of Sweden would point and say: Who is this wise man? One man did come forth. His name was Beergongergergle And he said: Do not fear, people of Sweden, for there is a reason behind your bowl of onion soup. It is called onions! Everyone did agree that he was a very wise man.
Now, dear reader, you might wonder what this has to do with the Swedish Polarbears. The saga continues
One brave lad came forth and said: What do you mean wise man? This doesnt make any sense! And the wise man replied: Come forth young man, what is your name? And he said: My name is Swedish Polarbears.
And thats it. That is how it all began..
Some say the band started in 2006, with the boys from tremendously underrated swedish girl/boy jangly indiepopband moa:: bringing a friend with crescent rolls, beer and a guitar to their all male and very manly rehersals.
