history
Anton and Johan already knew each other from the Wendy band project . After it broke up, they decided to form a new band. This happened quickly with Oskar and Anders in 2003. The following year they gave their first small concerts in Sweden. In 2005 they were signed to the Bonnier Amigo record label . Tours followed in the opening act of the Arctic Monkeys and other bands. Her first album When it's all over I'll come back again with the single Weight (off my shoulder) was released on October 25, 2006 in Sweden. It sold so well, also abroad, that it was also available in German stores in 2007. With this album they toured in late 2006 and early 2007 a. a. through Germany, also as support for the Swedish rock band Sugarplum Fairy . On February 14, 2007, the single Valentines Day was released , which is only available as a download. The success brought the young band its first headliner tours in Europe in spring 2008.
After over 100 shows across Europe, the band retired to the studio in the second half of 2008, where they worked on their second studio album, Songs For The Fallen Apart . This was published in Sweden on February 2, 2009 (in Sweden) and on June 26 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In addition to an exclusive appearance at the Hamburg Reeperbahn Festival, the band went on an extensive tour in autumn 2009.
At the beginning of 2010 the band was already back in the studio to record the third previously untitled album.
