DEATH BY POP? OH JA!

posted in: Artist Features • Pop

The headline on Shotgun Cracker‘s Myspace page reads, Vi slí¥ss fí¶r kí¤rlek! Translation: We fight for love! If that’s the case, then their weaponry includes (but is not limited to): guitars, drums, keyboards, whistles, handclaps and cowbells. The Swedish band’s hyperkinetic indie pop is loud, exuberant, percussive, and most importantly, hook-y as hell. One look at the album cover for their recent release, Visual Randomization, sums it all up: An explosion of color and chaos with quirky personalities popping out here and there combine to form some compelling art. Shotgun Crackers unleash a brazen sonic attack, but it’s one you’ll happily surrender to.
