Fireside (band)

Fireside was 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,[1] 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 return to emo/pop punk. The band's official website is no longer active; the band's last public performance was in Sweden in 2017.
