Live reviews
Who doesn't love a blend of genre? Pop & rock, electro & dance... swing & hip hop? The latter is what Swedish trio Movits! pride themselves in being pioneers of. Personally describing their sound as ''Django guitar, windy street swing; music for both art directors and your mom'', the live show is just as bonkers as you'd imagine.
Hugely popular in their native Sweden, the band merge big band conventions with rhythm and blues before adding hip hop vocals over the top to create a truly mind bending sound but for some reason in the madness, something really works. It could be the band's likeable stage presence that encourages fans to suspend disbelief as they rattle through the bizarre melodies of 'Woodstock' or the swing stylings of 'Halvvägs'.
One thing is certain though, through the combination of an individual sound and a killer stage show the band leave even the most skeptical of gig goer cheering and applauding as they wish the crowd goodnight and plunge the percussion into darkness. Only really successes in Sweden, the boys are currently attempting to crack the US, and hopefully the UK is their next stop as us gloomy Brits need some Swedish madness.
