Here’s another collection of videos – this time with three live ones by the amazing Kellermensch and Faroese rocker Knút – and tracks (as usual with a few freebies among them) for you to hopefully enjoy. Norway’s Bellman is giving away a five-song EP, while Sweden’s Boeoes Kaelstigen have their grand single ‘Kantillo’ up for grabs, but do check it all out and let us know what you think…

January 26 our favorite dark rockers Kellermensch performed live in downtown Copenhagen for Danish radio P3 as part of the national fundraising event, Danmarks Indsamling – The New Africa, which raised money for 12 different projects aimed at ensuring education for young people in Africa. There were cameras present too, and here’s the live videos of Kellermensch playing ’30 Silver Coins’, ‘Army Ants’ and ‘The Day You Walked’.
BOEOES KAELSTIGEN (SE)
February 1 Adrian Recordings released the third and final single from Swedish minimal trance/techno duo Boeoes Kaelstigen’s debut album ‘Tanum Teleport’. ‘Kantillo’ is the title of this awesome track which you can download for free with a Right Click + Save As here!
MY LITTLE PONY (NO)
Norwegian indiepoppers My Little Pony released this single back in September, but that’s no reason not to tell you about it now. ‘Hard To Be Good’ is a charmer and it came with this fairly trippy video featuring a lot of balloons and kids in animal outfits.
VETO (DK)
February 28 Danish electrorock outfit VETO release their third full length album ‘Everything Is Amplified’, the title taken from Daily Show host Jon Stewart’s speech at his Rally to Restore Sanity back in October, where he said: “When everything is amplified, we hear nothing.” Here’s first single ‘This Is Not’:
RÖKKURRÓ (ISL)
Back in September I told you what I thought about alternative indiepop quintet Rökkurró’s sophomore effort ‘Í Annan Heim’ (Hint: I quite liked it), and recently I was tipped about this video for the first single ‘Sólin Mun Skína’, shot in an abandoned house in the outskirts of Grindavík, a fishing town on the southwestern coast of Iceland, and directed by US filmmaker Bowen Staines.
LEIF & THE FUTURE (NO)
In the early weeks of 2010 Norwegian new wave pop-rock quintet Leif & The Future were featured in a SpaceScan with their great song ‘Let It Go’. In the fall they went in to the studio to record their debut album, and yesterday first single ‘You Like It Better’, mixed by Nick Terry (Klaxons, Serena Maneesh, Simian Mobile Disco, Libertines), was released.
UNDERDØGS (SF)
A bit more than a week ago Finnish rock quintet Underdøgs were half of the Friday SpaceScan with the track ‘Signs’, taken from their latest dual single ‘Scarsigns’. There’s a 3D-animated video, too, wrestling the fundamental human wish to understand the secrets of the universe.
BELLMAN (NO)
As a taste of what’s to come when Bellman releases his sophomore effort ‘The Curse’ in the UK later this year, Lazy Acre Records are giving away a free five track EP with two songs from the Norwegian singer’s awesome debut, ‘Mainly Mute’, a Prince cover (‘The Holy River’), ‘Intention: Cruel’, which he wrote for the 2008 animated movie Kurt Blir Grusom (Kurt Turns Evil), and finally ‘Gasoline’ from ‘The Curse’ (in the player). Download the ‘Spaceship, Move Slow!’ EP on bandcamp.com.
THE NEW SPRING (DK)
March 28 Shout Wellington Air Force singer and guitarist Bastian Kallesøe will release his solo debut as The New Spring on Tambourhinoceros, and last week first single ‘The Glow’ and this sweet video, directed by Nick Bruhn-Petersen and Christian Hagen Thomasen, hit the ALL SCANDINAVIAN inbox.
COLD MAILMAN (NO)
October 4 Norwegian indiepop outfit Cold Mailman released their second full length with the comforting title ‘Relax; The Mountain Will Come To You’ in Norway. By the looks of it the album should be released in the UK soon, and here’s a taste in the shape of single ‘Pull Yourself Together And Fall In Love With Me’.
KNÚT (FO)
Here’s another live video. This one’s with Faroese songwriter and singer Knút Háberg Eysturstein performing his new, Neil Young-ish song, ‘On High’, which will be on his third album (no title or release date yet).
SEBASTIAN LIND (DK)
Come March Danish pop prodigy Sebastian Lind will be featured artist on the Fred Perry Subculture music site, and recently he released the fourth single off his great eponymous debut album, ‘Keep Me Near’ (in the player).
