Regina

Regina (sorry, no photo) is the third artist i have written about from the small but truly excellent swedish record lable Songs I Wish I Had Written, from where you can also order CDs and stuff.

Regina has been around for a while and they first caught my eye (ears) at the now late music festival Popaganda in Stockholm last spring. Singing in their native language (finnish), the lyrics sounds completely like gibberish to me which surely is not the case with the wonderful electronic music emerging from my speakers at this very moment. Finnish is a very harsh language and this goes for the beats as well. The only thing in it to smooth your ears are the wonderful melodies.

Lisa, who is the front singer, has got a great deal of charm when she is standing on stage. Don't get fooled by her neat size and appearance, she's got energy for the lot and knows how to get the crowd in gear. Listening to them live is a great experience, and if you get the chance you should really not miss out on it. Unfortunately it seems like it will be a while before they will venture out from the borders of Finland, but keep the name Regina in mind.

I addition to these songs you can find more songs and info at their Myspace.
