Like the previous blog... The Wannadies are from another part of the world that over achieves musically. This time I'm talking about Sweden. I'm not even referring to the obvious, but more so the healthy Indie scene over there. The Wannadies formed in 1988 and only just broke up last year. This song "Hit" was on their most successful album 'Bagsy Me' which came out in 1997. This was one of many gems on that album. "You and Me Song", a single from the previous album, was added to the album as well after the success of the Romeo + Juliet movie at the time... which featured it on the soundtrack. "Hit" is typical of the Wannadies sound. It has the poppy vocals backed by a rough or more unsettling energetic background. They are quite different to the Pixies and Nirvana, but have perfected that quiet/loud song structure in a similar way.
