Fireside at Slaktkyrkan

It’s been a full 20 years since the wayward Luleå punks of Fireside last released new music, but on their stunning new album ‘Bin Juice’ the style-setting band make a long-awaited return.

Band: Fireside
Date: Saturday, May 20
Admission: 20.00
Live from: about 21.00
Venue: Slaktkyrkan
Age limit: 18+ years
Price: 350 SEK

Spring 2023 sees the band’s first proper tour in over 18 years.

Still deeply rooted in emotional hardcore, but with a finger on the contemporary pulse, Fireside’s new album “Bin Juice” has managed to create an urgent record that remains true to their patented noise. And as usual, embedded in heavy riffs and driving bass lines, Kristoffer Åström’s inimitably wistful vocals can be heard.

For the first time in over eighteen years, the band is now going on a major tour with stops in Sweden, Norway and Germany. The 90s and early 00s belonged to Fireside. As well as touring extensively in the US and Europe, the band won Grammys, performed at Lollapalooza and turned down a collaboration with star producer Rick Rubin before taking a break.

The breakthrough came with their second album ‘Do Not Tailgate’ (1995) which, with songs like ‘Kilotin’ and ‘Left Rustle’, transformed Fireside into one of the world’s most talked about hardcore bands. The follow-up ‘Uomini D’onore’ (1997) cemented the band’s status, while the fourth album – the deceptively hard-to-find ‘Elite’ (2000) – remains a favorite of devoted listeners. After ‘Get Shot’ (2003), the band took a rare long break only to return triumphantly, with two new members, with the new album ‘Bin Juice’ in 2022.
