Burning Heart Records has announced the signing of Gothenburg, Sweden's Sparks of Seven. The seven-piece band is described as "the missing links between Union Carbide Productions, Stone Roses and Primal Scream." Their debut album will be released by Burning Heart sometime this year. The band has previously been receiving a lot of attention from Swedish National TV (SVT) and Radio (SR P3) as well as numerous college radio stations in both Sweden and the US.

The label has also announced that they'll be covering European releases of the new Weakerthans album "Reconstruction Site" when it's released this fall.
