BWO first uk album

Pandemonium - The Singles Collection

Sweden: BWO releases album in the UK

After the success with Eric Prydz, Basshunter and Robyn, now Swedish group Bodies Without Organs try there luck on the UK market once again. BWO´s first album release in the UK is a greatest hits album called Pandemonium - The Singles Collection.

In there native country Sweden BWO have had total of nineteen hits on the Swedish charts. In the UK it’s not the same story. Latest UK singles Sunshine in the rain and Lay your love on me both peaked at No. 69 on the UK single chart.

Next single for the UK market will be Will my arms be strong enough, it will be released September 22nd.

BWO is Alexander Bard, Marina Schiptjenko and Martin Rolinski. They mix synth pop with dance beats and classic pop ballads. Or as Alexander describes them “the missing link between Kraftwerk and ABBA”. Most songs are produced by Alexander and Anders Hansson. Anders has also done tracks for Alcazar, Agnes Carlsson and Lena Philipsson.

- A major record company would never put together a group featuring a 47-year-old man, a 43-year-old woman and a 26-year-old guy who looks like he's brought mum and dad on stage with him said Alexander Bard when interviewed by DigitalSpy recently.

BWO have participated in Melodifestivalen three times, Gone 2005, Temple of love 2006 and Lay your love on me 2008.

01: The Bells Of Freedom

Mazarra

One reason they don't sell in UK must be the fact that they are called Bodies Without Organs. It sounds revolting.

BWO had a great song in the Swedish national final but I respect Charlotte too :)

Lay your love on me was great and miles better than Charlottes Hero. I would love to finally see them in ESC with another strong song. I also liked Temple of love.

lol mazarra!
I was wondering the same thing, but perhaps they only release it on the internet in the UK, cos downloads do count in our chart :) Although i've heard "lay your love on me" being played on radio 2 alot ;) :D

I think BWO would have done well in Belgrade. Their performance in MF was great. I'm afraid they were robbed in 2006 too.

Yes Jonny, Marina looks a lot like Charlotte in that video :)

@ morgan frayne

yesyesyes i know and that would be their only ticket to UK chart success i think =D

what a nice thing to say =0

i think BWO is a good band but i honestly can't see them having major chart success in the UK... they just wouldn't appeal to enough people. They were robbed this year though, they could have achieved a good result for Sweden

All the best to BWO - they are the Gods of schlager!!!
