You could always look up Ace of Base of course or Dr Alban.. most fun! Hey .. and there's Roxette...and Broder Daniel (since you mentioned Robyn, who sang in Out of Amal aka Show me love!). But truely.. Sweden and music.. that will always be Abba!!

Homy Hogs was one of the original Scandinavian (Swedish) hardcore bands. The later records is a mix
of early Alice Cooper and 70s punkrock such as the early Damned. The bandmembers were also an infamous bunch of chaosmakers.

I agree with Judith...Ace of Base and ABBA, I love them both. I'm not familiar with any other artists at the moment.
