	Mando Diao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mando Diao are a garage rock band from Borlänge, Sweden.
		According to the band, the name Mando Diao has no meaning at all, but rather appeared to band member Björn Dixgård in a dream.
		The roots of Mando Diao date back to 1995 when Björn Dixgård was a member of a band called Butler.

	Mando Diao : Bring 'Em In - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Speaking of the Hives, it may be lazy criticism to compare Mando Diao to its better-known countrymen, but the band's sharp, strutting riffs and Gustaf Norén's raspy sneer of a voice share some obvious similarities.
		Mando Diao's love of '60s soul and R&B -- or, at least, love of mod and British Invasion bands such as the Who and the Animals, who loved and were influenced by '60s soul and R&B -- adds a distinctive touch to the band's sound.
		In some ways, Mando Diao's co-founder and other vocalist, Björn Dixgård, is the band's secret weapon: His rounded, throaty style of singing recalls everyone from Noel Gallagher to Eric Burdon to Tom Jones depending on its setting, providing the band with a duality that results in some of Bring 'Em In's best moments.

	Mando Diao: Bring 'Em In: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Technically, the origin of Mando Diao's pilfered sonics is probably closer to the likes of The Who, The Kinks, or Creation, but the British Invaders were just taking lessons from Motown, the Blues, and a little Chuck Berry anyway, so it's not like Mando Diao's more than one step removed from our musical ancestors.
		It's to Mando Diao's credit that, as easy as it is to rattle off a litany of easy influences, they come out sounding very much their own entity.
		Mando Diao is stealing our rock 'n' roll thunder, but if we can't produce anyone to offer them some competition, I suppose they're welcome to it.

	[No title]
		The fellas in Mando Diao have been quick to distance themselves from the "new Swedish" sound, or whatever it is folks are labeling the spate of quality bands to recently come from Sweden.
		In Mando Diao's case, the most prominent influence is a band like the Buzzcocks, who pair a bit of punk rock spasticity with an unshakable ear for classic pop of all types, be it Britpop or bubblegum.
		What you should expect when you play Hurricane Bar, then, is a group of super-catchy songs with all of the little touches you've come to expect from pop songs ("aaaah" vocal harmonies behind the chorus, handclaps, you know the drill) with a nice, high-energy presentation that stops short of pop-punk territory.

	SOUNDTHESIRENS.COM - Review :: Mando Diao - Bring 'em in
		It is an unfair predicament to be in because these fun packed Swedes (yes, Sweden – can’t escape from it can they?) have written a record filled with some of the finest beat influenced rock jangles this side of the 50’s and 60’s.
		They are a cosmic rekindling of The Who with graceful sprinklings of bluesy guitars and an uncaring sense of freedom that remains through the eras.
		Mando Diao are simply fantastic in these depictions of moments.

		I think Mando Diao stink to be honest, though they deserve respect and Sugerplum Fairy was just a hyped joke that used their brother's fame to get a label.
		Well the taste is divided, for a fact sugarplum fairy were wellknown before Mando diao, they played at the great indiefestival Accelerator 2002 in july, before Mando diao had there debut on the Kalasturné and before mando diao released their first album later that autumn.
		They are not at all the same as Mando diao but since they are younger they had to wait longer for a record label.

		Yet never did the members of Mando Diao doubt that better times lay ahead - because they knew they were already the best f***in' band in the world.

		Mando Diao, on their latest post-punk garage rock creation, drum up several great songs worth of slightly distorted guitars and crashy cymbals that make you feel like you've just downed several fizzy lagers at the local pub, where strangely, a lot of Swedes have taken residence.
		These guys don't completely own the joint -- the sound Mando Diao are approaching is already better accomplished by that other Swedish rock foursome, The Hives, and The Hives already released a new CD this year.
		Mando Diao-Unbeknownst to the boys in the band, the name means something a bit inappropriate in chinese.

	CD: Mando Diao, Supersytem, Perceptionists
		Mando Diao frontman Gustaf Norén has compared the band's second album, "Hurricane Bar," to "Pet Sounds" — which makes sense if he's talking about the sounds your pet makes when its tail gets stuck in the door rather than the classic Beach Boys record of the same title.
		Still, you can see what Norén is getting at when he calls this Mando Diao's "pop" record: Many of the songs on the raucous "Bring 'Em In" sounded as if they had an implicit tempo that everyone was outracing.
		Mando Diao are nothing like the Beach Boys and, contrary to Norén's nervy boasts, not better than the Beatles.

		Mixing garage rock sneer and Brit-pop sass -- along with a truckload of other influences -- Borlange, Sweden's Mando Diao began when its members were all still in their teens.
		In 2002 they released their first E.P., Motown Blood, through the Majesty and Capitol imprints; the acclaim for the E.P., and the similarities in their sound to the Strokes and the Hives, raised Mando Diao's profile considerably, and the band went on tours of Sweden with the Hellacopters and Kent.

		Mando Diao are the latest (and one of the best) bands in the recent onslaught of fresh, pure rock and roll coming from the outposts of Europe.
		Too many new bands determine their posture before they develop a sound, but Mando Diao sound as if they are doing what comes naturally, and having some fun while doing it.
		Mando Diao lovers should also try to find their B-side songs, which are some of the greatest songs but unfortunately are rare and most are unheard of.

	Rolling Stone : Mando Diao Wanna Move You
		For Mando Diao, growing up in the industrial city of Borlange -- "the ugliest town in Sweden," according to singer-guitarist Gustaf Noren -- gave the band a chip on its shoulder.
		Mando Diao's break came on a European tour featuring up-and-coming Swedish bands in 2002.
		If Mando Diao's brazen self-confidence has earned them some homeland enemies, it's also kind of charming -- a latter-day version of the us-against-them anthems Pete Townshend used to write -- and a boon to their manicured throwback sound.

		Mando Diao is who the Strokes and Hives would be if they spent a week listening to the Beatles and some good ol' blues before sitting down and working out their tracks.
		They seemlessly mesh 60's rock, pop, some funk and blues into a perfectly crafted album that is much more deserving of the "saviors of rock" crown that is so adamantly given to The Strokes.

	Ink 19 :: Mando Diao (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Swedish garage rockers Mando Diao debut with 12 tracks of confidently strutting late-1960s Brit-blues and vamp-y riffs.
		Mando Diao's strength rests partly in their unwillingness to conform to current garage rock fashion, aiming for proud self-effacement rather than boisterous poseur-rawk.
		Not that there's anything modest about them -- they're bashful and snotty, and they have these 12 tracks to show for it.
