Malin Nordstrom isn't a department store heiress; rather, she's the petulant, sassy vocalist of Sweden's poppy, punchy Renaissance street. Think '60s power pop filtered through the tongue-in-chic bounce of '80s new wave.
Renaissance street started in 1999. Our influencies are 60-ies psychedelia, the New Wave of the early 80-ies and modern rock such as P J Harvey. The story so far... 2003 Renaissance street are choosen to play at P3 Popstad, the most important event focusing on new music in Sweden. The reviews state: ...Malin Nordström perform songs that I imagine sounds like Duran Duran, and she does it well. The very best with Renaissance street however stands behind an amplifier, and it’s said he plays percussion. But most of the time it’s actually nothing more than pure handclaps. Brilliant!...
