Never fear, Auntie. If the P-Spree decide to ditch their sound, I heard another band on RadioK that sounds like a split image clone. If you really don't want to sleep tonight, take a listen to "I'm From Barcelona" as they sing their earworm masterpiece, "I Have Built a Treehouse". You have been warned.

Yes indeed. The "up with people singers" genre is alive and well and living in Sweden.
