Greetings from Sweden!
Hi!
My name is Johanna and I live in Stockholm, Sweden. Starting with the obvious, I'm a Sick Puppies fan. Apart from listening to the Sick Puppies I love knitting, old books, heavy metal , beer (porter and stout to be more specific) and geocaching.
I first learned about Sick Puppies as a recurring suggestion for me on Spotify (you know the Discover thingy that tries to predict what you might like?). They kept being suggested over and over again, and after a few months I caved and clicked on the picture. I listened to War and You're Going Down and just fell in love.
After a few more months Spotify told me (yes, I use Spotify a lot, I don't even own a CD player any more) the Puppies were coming to Stockholm to do a concert. I was gutted to see that it was on the same day as another concert I had already bought tickets for. But a few days before that concert I saw that they were doing another concert in Linköping the day after (a friday). My husband and I had planned on traveling to Linköping on Saturday morning to participate in a birthday party and again it looked like I was going to miss the Puppies and yet be so close . I complained loudly and at length to my poor hubby. Two days before the concert he came home from work and asked me which Sick Puppies songs were the best and I gave him a few suggestions. The next morning he e-mailed me while I was at work and told me he had talked to the friends we were staying with in Linköping and asked if I could print the concert tickets. Is my husband the best or what??
The concert was incredible and totally worth all the trouble! I went from thinking they were good to being a full-blown fangirl in about an hour. I also scored my first signed band tee. Now I'm left hoping they will come back soon and that, next time, I won't have bought tickets to another concert...
I think I've already written too much so if anyone wants to know more about me, feel free to ask all kinds of questions!

Re: Greetings from Sweden!
Welcome!
Great you finally made it to the show!
I`m already missing the band too, let`s do our best to bring SP back to our countries asap! (Russia is very close to Sweden, hah )
Btw, do you love post hardcore?

Re: Greetings from Sweden!
Haha! Yes, part of Russia is very close to Sweden, but Russia is BIG!
At the concert Shim mentioned coming back in September, so maybe we'll both get to see them again soon
I'm not sure what you mean with post hardcore, could you give me some examples?

Re: Greetings from Sweden!
True! We don't have dates yet, but Sick Puppies are supposed to be returning to Europe in September or October.

Re: Greetings from Sweden!
I hadn't heard of them but I looked them up and listened to a song called Little Miss Obvious (is that the right band?) and it was really nice. Any favourite songs of yours I shouldn't miss??
