The Swedish ModelsReason for Selection: Heavy local buzz, regional tours and two drummers on one kit is twice as nice for half the price.At first glance, the Swedish Models are immensely disappointing considering they're neither Swedes nor models. Luckily, the bitter lie on which the band is based becomes an easy pill to swallow once their music—filled with hooks galore—floods your eardrums.  Cultivating grassroots support in 2007 should lead the O.B. rockers to greener national pastures (and a new album) in 2008.
