I've to admit, i like some of their songs...

pitiful live vids

Not a fan of Witch House.

Not the biggest fan of Salem - something about the ironic "street" posturing of the band rubs me the wrong way. I prefer White Ring, Mater Suspiria Vision and oOoOO in terms of witch house stuff...

They actually use the phrase "I was born in the skreets [sic]" in a song.

well this street posturing it's a feature that differentiates them from the others witch house bands.
I don't know if it's credible but it's a very nice mhitology for their music.

Perhaps you ought to join a forum for finding record stores in Stockholm.

This song from White Ring is the jam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sGSntTw_Q4

Steel drums and gunshot rhythms at 1:22. Hell yes.

Salem is ok. Some of the tracks are pretty good, but goddamn if the live videos aren't horrendous.
