Svenssen are a five-piece from Norway with a clear love for ’60s bands like The Who, The Kinks, and The Small Faces. Their latest single was even mastered at Abbey Road Studios, London, so you might think you know what to expect. And yet, She’s Into Bad Boys pleasantly surprised me—a ’70s power pop hit by design with infectious energy and sharp hooks.

The B-side, The Tambourine Man, dips deeper into ’60s territory, making for a welcome dessert to the main dish. From here on out, I’ll definitely be keeping a closer ear on these Norwegian rock ’n’ rollers.
