News: The Tough Alliance release The New School; are amazing
Aug 31, 08
The Tough Alliance, the Swedish duo of Henning Fürst and Eric Berglund, are totally not tough-looking dudes. The name came from a childhood idea between the two electro-rockish hooligans about a cool band name, not because of some high-reaching idea. They said it's just a good name, and that's all. Aside from what the hell the name is or what kind of shit goes on when they're on stage (read the Wikipedia entry here), the boys create this unbelievably catchy, super summery mix of textures that instantly bring smiles to our faces. With the North American release of their debut record, The New School, you'll all be able to understand what we mean. Killer beats for killer anthems, all from a duo that you'll keep on hearing all about throughout the end of the year and more. The New School is out September 9.
