Fireside (band)
Fireside is a Swedish, Grammis Award-winning rock band that formed in the Swedish hardcore scene in the early 1990s. After finding moderate success as a post-grunge/ alternative metal band, yet tiring of playing half-filled venues, Fireside adopted an emo/ pop punk sound in 1998. In 2000, with the release of ''Elite'', the band took a more experimental approach to rock, but 2003's ''All You Had'' saw the band shift toward garage rock. After a lengthy hiatus Fireside returned to playing live in 2016 and consequently a new album named ''Bin Juice'' was released in 2022. However, only singer/guitarist Kristofer Åström and guitarist/producer Pelle Gunnerfeldt appear on the record, joined by bassist and occasional vocalist Kate Breineder and several drummers.
