[edit] Band Biography

Many people think of The Cardigans as a bouncy, one-hit wonder for "Lovefool", but much of their work is quite a bit darker than that song (which isn't exactly that light either if you pay attention to the lyrics). Their Gran Turismo album has a much harder edge to it, and garnered some college airplay, but was hindered by MTV's inexplicable ban of the "My Favourite Game" music video (except, of course, when doing specials about music videos they've banned -- then it gets LOADS of airplay, now that the record's about 8 years old). They have had troubles getting later records released in the US, but they are still going strong, and their stuff is pretty easy to find as an import.
