Jakobinarina

If the name looks like a mouthful, take heart: "You can call us Jako," singer Gunnar Ragnarrsson announced before these precocious ravers (five of the six members are still in high school) proved youth is not wasted on the young. The band writes short, sharp songs bursting with teenage ennui ("Power to the Lonely"), fires them up with double-guitar jangle, then plays them at hyperspeed -- like the Arctic Monkeys with smiles. Jakobinarina are cutting three tracks for their debut single, two of which will be produced by Sigur Ros producer Ken Thomas. Prepare to be charmed.
