"Here the strongest, absolutely the most complete, Swedish indierock-album in a very long time suddenly appears. Respect! There is not a single weak track on The pleasure. Seriously. I have listened, counted and measured, believe me. I am quite surprised myself. Finnally we end up in a place where Shout out Louds would love to be, and the Hives already have been for a while. Swedish guitar-rock that kicks confidently forward in the fast lane and caresses you gently when it slows down. () I beleive that Streetwaves will soon be heading in new directions, and I want to join them."

"Pick any young English lad vomiting from anxiety, stinking of hormones and suffering from the sickness of monotony, give this guy some singing lessons, and suddenly you have Jonny of Streetwaves. Energy and a sound that you seldom experience in Sweden, and this is what makes the band fantastic, true rock'n roll straight into your bones. The album "The Pleasure to end all pleasures" might be the best rock-album produced in this country (Sweden) in the last 10 years! And it´s absolutely better than its' British competitors."
- Alex Wiman, Dala-Demokraten - Dala-Demokraten
"this one-track sampler from Streetwaves' forthcoming full-length debut is a real pearl. Rattling drums, yelling vocals and distorted guitars in a 3.27 minutes long energy bomb. I hear the same nonchalant charm that The Libertines and, at times, Babyshambles have refined. It's gonna be really really exciting to hear the forthcoming album The pleasure to end all pleasures!"

Bio
Streetwaves started out as a dream in the boysroom and ended up naked and burned out on the floor of the ladiesroom. What sets them apart from other bands of this kind is the amount of intelligence and passion put into the songs.
