About Me



Hide The Knives, from Gothenburg/Chicago, was formed in early 2007 in a search for the perfect blend of Swedish melodic legacy and American attitude. During the summer/fall of 2007 the band entered a Gothenburg studio to record their first album. A couple of songs that were sent out to magazines, labels and radio stations got great reviews and the word of this new band was quickly spread. Several radio stations, such as Swedish P3 and Bandit, started playing their song “Honey” before the band was even signed, calling them “the best unsigned band right now”. In the spring of 2008 the album found its way to the record label Gain, who shortly after signed them onboard. The debut album will be released in early 2009 through Gain/SonyBMG.
