Passion for change

About Me

2001:
Elias(ex- Second thought) and Dadde (Asta kask, Today's Overdose, Ex- Wolfbrigade, Imperial Leather, SME etc) records 2 songs in Mart's(Ex-Crudity) and Elias living room. The resualt is good enough to start looking for members to form a real band. At the same time Jocke(Today's Overdose, Ex-Wolfbrigade, Wolfpack, SME) called up Dadde and asked him to play drums in a project he wanted to start. We joined forces and looked for more members.
2002:
By the begining of the year both Martin(ex-Burning Kitchen), Elenor(Ex- Gruesome action) and Micke(Today's Overdose, ex-Wolfbrigade) had join the band. We started rehersing and it sounded pretty good. After some time we decided to record a demo, which later that year ended up as our first 7" on YELLOW DOG REC(Germany). During 2002 we went trough three gigs during this year, 2(Our first one was made under the name "Ground Zero") in Stockholm and one in Umeå at the semi-legendary "Punkfest". We also started planing our first album.
2003:
Early this year Micke feelt he couldn't be a part of the band anymore due to him living in another town. No bad blood but a pretty tricky situation came up. We had booked studio time in March. In the end of february we finally found someone, after a bunch of try outs, that feelt right. That he was a friend of us was even better. Jon(Stajnas Lobos, Ex-Imperial Leather, Skeletor) became our new singer. As planned we entered Soundlab studios in March and recorded our first album with Mieszko Talarzcyk(Nasum). It was released at the end of the year trough CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY(US) and STONEHENGE REC(France). We did some more touring this year, and our first show abroad.
2004:
Things start moving. A fun but though year for us. We got our own practise place for the first time ever. We played shows in Germany, Italy and a bunch in Sweden. We started makeing plans for a US tour to come true in march the fallow year. We also recorded our second album together with Olle Sandqvist (Disfear / Entombed / Damnation), Jon Persson and Mieszko Talarzcyk(Nasum). Mieszko sadly passed away just 18 days after we finished mixing and mastering the album with him...
2005:
"Concealed below the surface" LP/CD is realesed on YELLOW DOG (Germany) and CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY(us) in march in relation with our three week North American tour in March. We also did some shows in Germany and Denmark as well as a mini tour in the UK with Flyblown.
2006:
Played more shows around Sweden and Germany. Started to do pre-prodoction on a couple of new songs in the practice place. Elias and Jon became parents in March resp July. The band recorded three new song in july to be realesed on a split 7" with WITCHHUNT from New Jersey/Philly, USA.
