The Sweet Serenades formed during the summer of 2002 in Stockholm, Sweden by singer Martin Nordvall and guitar player Mathias Näslund. Signed to Leon Records, they released their debut album, Balcony Cigarettes in 2009. They achieved some fame when their song Die Young (a duet with Karolina Komstedt from Club 8) was featured on an episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' in March 2010. Read more on Last.fm
