The Salty Pirates
The Salty Pirates are a five piece indie pop band from Sweden, joining the ever-expanding ranks of fine exports that country is sending our way. The songs tend to sound jangly and upbeat but actually are little stories about being a loser in love and everything else. Is loserpop a genre? If not, it should be.
Anyway, the band are one of a few that truly embraces the internet as a way of making their music available, meaning their website has their entire discography (four EPs and a bunch of other stuff) available for free download. None of their songs are going to be classics or even your favourites, but they are a hell of a lot of fun, and sometimes that’s enough.

What’s a touch creepy is that the woman on the right is a dead ringer for one of my classmates from high school.
