Once in a while I do listen to older stuff, older West Side releases. The other day was on of those days. One album that I particular found good and still interesting enough to be brought to your intention was Tommy 16´s first album ”Shauna”. An album that was originally released back in 1995. Tommy 16 was probably one of the finest, it not the finest, power-pop band in Sweden (for those who likes acts like Teenage Fanclub, Big Star etc). They where steamed as a side project to the swedish singing act Hardy Nilsson, and in their short carrier they only released two albums and an EP, as well as a couple of singles. Their biggest success were their second album ”Rocking big Buddha”, which sold quite well both here and there and from where a couple of radio hits where taken, as well as their biggest one ”Come on, come on”.
But from my personal horizon I do think their first one is their best one, with some absolute truly good pop-tunes that still stands today. If you´re interested just listen for your self; Tommy 16 – Shauna
