The Wannadies were an alternative rock band formed in Skellefteå, northern Sweden. ‘Bagsy me’, their fourth album includes the hit singles “Someone Somewhere”, “Shorty”, “Friends” and “Hit”. The songs are uniformly excellent, with the hyperactive “Damn It I Said” featuring both the albums best chorus and coolest guitar sound and the glorious “Someone Somewhere” the most sing-able melody. But it all comes together for one big bang at the end with the awesome 9 minutes of “Thats All”, a truly great track and captures this criminally underrated band at their very best. They write great songs, play them with an energetic pop guitar sound and you just find yourself smiling.
