Love Is All - Make Out, Fall Out, Make Up
This band was definitely one of the biggest buzz bands at SXSW. From Insound:The Debut release by Sweden's Love is All. 10 songs of heart and soul punk featuring the songs that got them a John Peel Session, single of the week in the NME, sandwiched between My Bloody Valentine and Josef K on the Rough Trade Shops Indiepop vol 1. A marvel of sound and volume produced by Woodie Taylor of Comet Gain. Described by Calvin Johnson in Rockpile as "a spiraling cacophony that drives one to the dance floor to pogo like a maniac." On What's Your Rupture? the label that brought America the Long Blondes and caUSE co-MOTION!
I saw them play at the Fader party. (Thanks for the Red Stripes, Fader!)

They supposedly tore the roof off The Knitting Factory in NYC the next week, so says Stereogum.
