salty pirates ~ make bombs not pospsongs ( independent, 2003)
a group of friends since high school from halmstad, sweden get together to make catchy-funny pop songs about some subjects that we don't see everyday in a song (seatbelts, per gessle, academy, nietzsche...)
salty pirates stands out for creating tunes like 'you got your seatbelts and cars are so save', a great combination of clever lyrics and a twee-ish feeling.
they've released 4 ep's and a couple of random songs and all were available on their site to download (unfortunately, the site no longer exists).
i could've made a compilation with their songs but i decided to create posts respecting the way the songs were made available on their website. soon, songs like 'let's spread out rumours of our own death' and 'my academic beard' - their best songs and true classics from the "underground pop" - will be available here.
in 2008, salty pirates became the weather in sweden.
