Editor's note

Hardcore Superstar's Swedish rock with a punk edge

A Gothenburg band that's been delivering straightforward rock since 1997.

If you want to get a feel for them, 'Beg for It' is a good place to start. So is 'You Can't Kill My Rock 'N Roll', the title kind of says it all.

They've been doing this long enough that their sound feels lived-in, not just borrowed. You can hear it in 'Beg for It' or 'You Can't Kill My Rock 'N Roll', it's rock that doesn't overthink itself. They even won Sweden's Rock Bear Award for Best Live Band twice, which says something about how they connect on stage.

They formed in Gothenburg in 1997 and put out their debut 'It's Only Rock 'n' Roll' the next year. Nine albums later, including a self-titled one in 2005 and 'You Can't Kill My Rock 'n' Roll' in 2022, they're still at it. Their 2007 album 'Dreamin' in a Casket' caused a stir with its cover art, but the music kept coming.
