so what can i do when i'm thinking of you

I swear i'm not inundating the readers with Swedish music on purpose but I really did not know The Shout Out Louds were from Sweden too until after I decided to write up about them and checked them out on allmusic.com.

Anyway The SOLs are sorta more like an ' indier' version of Mando Diao. The sheer energy and boyish confidence is as much present in here as it is in Mando Diao, perhaps a little brasher and rawer that may not be as " bluesy and soulful" rocky but veering along in a more sparkling and hearts-on-sleeve fashion. It is the catchy and distinctive arrangements that really make the SOLs stand out, all creative and unforgettable hooks ( like the Cure). It is easy for most songs singing of love and the dicey stuff to go overly kitschy and self indulgent, here fortunately the lead singer Adam always keeps it from turning that way ( unlike the Cure sometimes), instead using his unique voice to gel and match the sound together nicely.

Heh nice harmonicas on the song too.
