Swedish bands.. i bet you didn't know

The problem I have with most Swedish bands (not that it really has anything to do with them being Swedish), is that the majority of the ones that get big in the States usually have only one or two good songs. The Caesars, Shout Out Louds, Mando Diao? A few good songs and a bunch of filler. Not to mention that most have that same Garage Rock Revival sound to them. Having said that, a few Swedish bands/artists I like...

The Cardigans
Sambassadeur
The (International) Noise Conspiracy
Division of Laura Lee
Acid House Kings
Club 8
Suburban Kids with Biblical Names
Jans Lekman
