Hey Mark,
It wasn’t a Not Lame sampler, it was my Scandinavian Pop Sampler which Bruce kindly linked to one day many years ago. You can see all ten volumes here:

Loudean were definitely one of the more obscure bands of the era. Just one EP and one album on MNW and a few singles (some of the B-sides were non-album tracks)
But I don’t think they ever played outside of Sweden or got much promo beyond those two cheap videos.
Peter Andersson and Jon Allesson founded the band and they went on to form The Klerks, another excellent band who suffered a similar fate. You’ll find them on the samplers too.
I tried tracking the singer a while ago (can’t remember her name) but I don’t think she did any music after Loudean.
There are so many great bands from Sweden who made one album in the 90s and sank without trace, it’s infuriating.

I was exposed to the Swedish (?) group Loudean on one of the NotLame compilations - one about Swedish power pop. They released only one CD, which I own. I am crazy about the CD but can find no info anywhere about members, what they have done since, etc - no leads to new music. YouTube has two of their videos with zero comments. Can anyone supply any info about this band, the lead singer in particular?
