More evidence that there is actually a garage rock factory in Sweden--the U.S. debut from this perfectly formed, retro-rock quintet bustles with handclaps, keyboard-driven pop melodies and a potent new-wave punch. There's a drop-dead gorgeous blonde like the Ravonettes and a shaggy-haired front man like the Hives (plus someone that inexplicably looks like Moby) but Shout Out Louds otherwise offer up their own variation of the genre using crisp go-go rhythms on "Hurry Up Let's Go" and a woozy southern drawl on the bittersweet "Please Please Please." Fans of the Wannadies will certainly not want to look the other way. --Aidin Vaziri

Heck yeah.......2007-05-03

This cd smacks you square center of your face with "The Comeback," and does not stop. Songs like "Please Please Please" and "100*" only compliment the Shout Out Louds more. If your tired unoriginal music this will be your fix for a long time. Check out the forthcoming album coming to the U.S. September 11, 2007.

look into my eyes.......2006-12-15

I tend to agree with another review that said pop is the purest form of music and there's nothing wrong with it. I think that's pretty true. Everyone wants to be a pop star, because that's how you get remembered. But then he said this is not album since it's a collection of singles, which I didn't know, and it totally threw me off. That's fine, but I thought the whole thing flowed very well. I love the style of music, whatever you call it. Good mix of instruments, acoustic and electric guitars, and I think I heard an accordian and flute and a clarinet in there. I loved the song structure, and the upbeat tempos. I don't usually go out and search for "indie bands" per se, but I was glad to stumble onto this little gem, however it is classified. If I had to liken it to something, I'd say Phoenix or Dogs Die in Hot Cars. Good stuff!

Not Bad.......2006-11-14

Okay...I'm consulting my How To Write A Snobby Indie Review handbook and it says that I must start by namedropping. Um...Unicorns...that's the first band that comes to mind when I think of Shout Out Louds. And maybe the Strokes (or any other recent NYC garage band), but not quite as mainstream. Of course, for the really pretentious I should mention that the band is Swedish, and this album is similar to the other pop that's been coming out of that country for years.

I saw one guy write that this album is "just" another pop album, but what's the harm in that? Pop is still the purest form of music, and the Beatles and Beach Boys were more than content to make good pop music for years. That guy must be a high school kid who hasn't realized that pop is back in.

Howl Howl Gaff Gaff is not actually a pop "album." It's a collection of singles that were previously released in the band's native country, so there's a bit of variety to the songs and no smooth feel to the album. Ultimately, this album won't change your life and it may not become one of your favorites of all time, but it's hard not to enjoy the simple pleasures here. "The Comeback" is without question the best song and it's a good representation of the rest of the album, so give that a listen...if you enjoy that you'll probably enjoy the rest. (Or if you enjoy the Unicorns, Islands, or any other lo-fi, indie pop band).

amazing music!!.......2006-07-02

say what you will about this band, but i LOVE THEM!!...its one of the only CD's in my collection that i can listen through all the way, without skipping over songs. I can't wait to see this band live!

mix of moods and movement.......2006-06-21

Purchase this CD - don't hesitate. This album with make you tap your feet and clap your hands. It's up, down, spin around. Their own unique sound splashed with hints of other artist influences. Instant gratification once you hit play! A blender of the Rentals, Concretes, Velvet Underground, Cure, Psychadelic Furs, Snow Patrol, Mercury Rev, Belle & Sebastian, Ride, Wedding Present, and Spiritualized.
