Shout Out Louds are an indie rock band from Stockholm, Sweden. The band consists of ‘four boys and one girl’: Adam Olenius (vocals, guitar), Ted Malmros (bass), Carl von Arbin (guitar), Eric Edman (drums) and Bebban Stenborg (keyboards, vocals).
Their original name was Luca Brasi after the infamous muscle guy and personal enforcer of Don Vito Corleone from the Godfather films, until they realized another band shared that name. The band started in 2001. All members had been friends since they were young.
They were featured in the arts section of The New York Times in November 2005. They performed at Bowery Ballroom in New York on Friday, November 4th, 2005.
On april 25th 2007 the band released their second album, Our Ill Wills in Sweden and was released in the US on September 11th 2007 on their new label Merge Records.
In 2008, the year of the Rat, at sunset after a quite disorderly night in Sao Paulo the band members lovingly parted ways to go each on his/her own adventures, but with the promise of returning to the spot where it all began exactly six months later.
Every one kept that promise, and in March 2009 (the year of the Ox) they gathered in Stockholm to get back to work. The recording of Shout Out Louds' third album began in a barn turned musical temple outside of Seattle in August that year, was finished and perfected in Stockholm in October, and will be released world wide in February 2010. The year of the Tiger.
