First Aid Kit BBC Breakfast 2015

Johanna and Klara from First Aid Kit chat to Charlie and Naga on BBC Breakfast May 2015

[@RemoteAbductionArm]

They even speak in harmony

[@efratel9]

love their music. simply charming.

[@johnlargan6045]

These ladies are wonderful! I love that they seem so down to earth and unaffected. Pure talent.

[@dw89music73]

These two even remind me of the Wilson sisters from Heart. You know, the fact that the sisters consist of one voluptuous brunette and one thin blonde brings to mind Ann and Nancy Wilson.

[@jamieb3116]

Klara's snippet of English accent was WAY too sexy for that time of the morning lol.She should have done the voice for the new Lady Penelope! Seriously, its amazing that they're happy to sit there and sing spontaneously with an acoustic guitar, with none of the bullshit primadonna behaviour that normally surrounds popstars

[@mrb4894]

When johanna comes in with the harmony 😍

[@madburnie]

First thing out of lockdown is seeing these magicians x

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

Their accents are beautiful

[@OrantesMontoya]

I can hardley notice any accent at all really,i´m Swedish though.

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

[@joshpickles9022]

+XxStarWarsxX You're right.So much great music from Sweden!

[@joshpickles9022]

thehomefront ??

[@michaelbyrnee9584]

These two women are absolute treasures.

[@rosskstar]

It really is a mind-freak that they sound so American - my ex wife was from Stock and had an American accent too but not THIS American. The power of American TV.

[@luleahockey1977]

John RossStar Well maybe, but also spending large portions of their young lives touring and recording in america might play a part?

[@rosskstar]

Nah, they sounded the same 6 years ago. Like they said, it's from growing up watching American TV....plus they don't teach English in schools with the British accent anymore.

[@AtticusStount]

John RossStar Certain Swedes write in English because the most superficial of them think of it as somehow "better" than Swedish. The heavy American accents are adopted to obfuscate their own accents: English plus Swedish accent is a thing of great embarrassment for some reason known only to Odin.

[@rosskstar]

Well that's a damn shame - accents flavor the world. Homogenization isn't a good thing.

[@rosskstar]

I can understand if they don't want to sound like "The Swedish Chef".

[@petergray5686]

such a great duet

[@raystyles8289]

Naturally good singers off cuff like that and sitting down. Good luck girls carry on producing lovely songs. R, R

[@red152mm]

So beautiful!!!......and the song too!!!😎💖💖

[@gregalexander307]

Love them!

[@banjoplayingbison2275]

Lol their music does make me feel better!

[@onyinoyi_o]

They have this voice duo that just melts together, with that slight southern American twang (I know they are swedish). The only other duo I have heard that fit this description was the civil wars... but they've broken up now :( .

[@sportsportsport]

Excellent!

[@ericlayton8888]

I've just finally understood why people who are not British find the English accent attractive, Klara sounded like sonic sexiness

[@badofcheese]

What the actual fuck are you talking about?

[@ericlayton8888]

+Andrew Ross it always seems that people not from Britain, particularly America, find British accents attractive (generalising obviously) and I've never seen it, until the English accent impression in this

[@edluacoles]

+Eric Layton didn't catch it till I read your comment. its heaven

[@iancameron7292]

Amazing.....

[@sarahdowns8054]

They're Swedish? I thought they seemed to have an American country western sound

[@mariotucci3]

there brilliant

[@genuinehearts8247]

We walked to that store all the time in Merced.

[@kalevala29]

I want to heart them speak Swedish, lol

[@BillyJake]

JOhana

[@kimacronym2521]

Amazing duo ! Being German I never understood how Sweden as a relative small country has such creative musicians / artists and Germans don't really manage to produce much of international interest.....it must be in the way of engineering...

[@ozzy61foster]

The evening music schools are supported by the government or at least have been. A move that has been very profitable for Sweden

[@flottpale1]

Kim Acronym: Well you have Doro Pesch. As much as I love First aid kit, no one beats Doro.

[@86frieza]

You've got Rammstein and you're talking about lack of international interest ??? People all around the world fucking love them even though majority doesn't even understand German

[@briane5706]

Germany are probably the best in engineering.

[@ragnarkisten]

Well, Germany did produce Bach and Beethoven. They managed to write one or two oldies goldies, didn't they?

[@genuinehearts8247]

If they took Fairfield there is a mall and I already vouched for the comic book guy there. If the one for Merced wanted to come to Winters...

[@Zorg2006]

A pedant writes: when talking to British people, you don't need to say 'Stockholm Sweden' - because a) we know where Stockholm is and b) we don't have states with lots of towns that have the same name. Sorry. I had to say it.

Zorg2006 well now there actually is a Stockholm in Wisconsin ... USA ;)

[@Zorg2006]

Anders Eggegård Fair enough, but what I mean is, if you're talking to British people they will know Stockholm means Sweden and don't need it clarifying. Obviously this is the most unimportant comment in youtube history but still.

[@OrantesMontoya]

+Zorg2006 You don´t like them do you?

[@OrantesMontoya]

+Zorg2006 It´s always like this,if one hundredpeople say something nice about an artist ,there is always someone who feel that they just have to say something nasty about the artist just to get some attention.

[@OrantesMontoya]

+Zorg2006 Feeling better now?You had you´re moment.

[@sorenhabolin1248]

Dom är bäst!

[@genuinehearts8247]

Fairfield/Suisun and Benicia great for trade...

[@kalevala29]

Is Johanna the younger sister? They're cute together.

[@declancostello5842]

Just can't fault these guys

[@teesman61]

They must have spent more time in the US than Sweden.

[@tiarnan76]

The DNA of American Music is folk music from Ireland, UK, Sacandinavia, Germany and France...The American accent didnt come out of thin air either - certain parts - like Minnesota - sound very Swedish - at first til u realise theyre speaking English...

[@moscowguitarman]

I think they attended an international school, and prob learnt their English from people with American accents.

[@banjoplayingbison2275]

Lol I was surprised to find out these girls were from Sweden,they sound like some great country folk artist from the middle of America

[@anonymousSWE]

As a Swede, I think people from Minnesota sound very American. :)

[@tiarnan76]

Hows life in Sweden at the moment?

[@antoneriksson9513]

nice tweedy

[@HuSiaCat]

Who wrote that? "We did". Classic TV Journalism.

[@Luke-ft5ow]

they definitely sound American

[@mediapc4747]

Did they really say 'you do a swedish accent very well' ...Geez

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

Well they don't have very Swedish voices.

[@mediapc4747]

They may speak fluent english with an excellent anglo-euro-american accent, but being Swedish, it's not really a suprise if they can do a Swedish accent, NOT doing one is the hard part if you're Swedish. He should have said 'you do an english accent very well'

[@jinkertsun]

It was a joke.

[@rasistefanos1]

Oh Johanna.....Johanna.......marry me

[@peer7727]

+rasistefanos1 NoNo.... To late. Spoken for me

[@OrantesMontoya]

Dream on,lol.

[@rasistefanos1]

Nice dream though

[@OrantesMontoya]

Agree,lol.

[@banjoplayingbison2275]

No marry me!!!!! I can play the banjo or steel guitar in your backup band! (Lol what a dream)

[@amadlala8936]

i jojohamna et lkrarah vwc

[@efcpl]

What Stockholm Sweden! When they could have lived in say London England, or Berlin Germany, or Paris France. Why Stockholm!? Its cold and not that pretty.

[@wasen_aeon]

efcpl Maybe because they that's where they grow up? Just because it isn't the biggest city in the world doesn't it mean it's a good city. And it's only cold in the winter, during summer does it gets around 30 degress Celsius.

[@AtticusStount]

Oscar Hult winter, which lasts for at least 6 months a fucking year.

[@danielkarlsson258]

Steven T. Parker So you are complaining about Swedes being superficial for writing in English and about our climate? Wow. Someone needs to get another hobby...

[@efcpl]

***** Well I´m swede and have lived in Stockholm a couple of years. Its just my penny for my thoughts. I would not choose Stockholm thats for sure.

[@efcpl]

***** Well you know You Stockholm is my city I can complain about is how much I like its does´nt matter. Its my city. Thats how it is. We as humans always complain about the closest to us. Its just how we are.
