Ok now you can say you heard the next big indie/folk band before anyone else. That is unless you heard of First Aid Kit already. So who are these soon to be indie starlets? They be a Swedish indie/folk duo consisting of sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg from Stockholm. The debut EP “Drunken Trees” was released April 2008 in Sweden on the label Rabid Records, owned by the Swedish electronic duo The Knife. And we all know The Knife, right? I know if I ran into them and they said in their thick accents, “you shoood be leestenin too dis bend, they are the goood” I would say yes and then ask to see their real faces. But I’m sure I’d be disappointed, but thoroughly enjoy their recommendation.

So anyway, First Aid Kit, they’ve already gained some notiriety by covering Fleet Foxes and putting it on their first EP, but their debut album “The Big Black & The Blue” is out on the 25th January 2010 and it’s really good. This is the single “Hard Believer”. As young as they are, the only way I could think they got this good is because they have awesome parents who showed them good music at a very young age, cuz damn they’re ahead of the game. That is unless all girls from Sweden look 14 and are actually older, I hope liking this band doesn’t make me a pederass.
