硬核超级星成立于1997年，在歌德堡，很快就签约到Gain唱片公司。他们的第一张专辑在瑞典制作并发行。这张专辑吸引了英国的唱片公司“Music for Nations”，而且还有几个国际上的合同也随之到来。新专辑其实是乐队正式的首张专辑。有几首新歌，新的专辑封面，新的专辑名"Bad Sneakers and a Pina Colada"。唱片里有乐队的所有知名单曲，"Someone Special", "Liberation" and "Have You Been Around"都是在瑞典单曲榜单上获得好位置。乐队已经有所突破。

“Liberation”的MV获得瑞典戈来美最佳提名，然后乐队开始在欧洲和日本的巡演。2001年，第二张专辑"Thank You (For Letting Us Be Ourselves)"里面有单"Shame" and "Mother's Love"。乐队再一次在欧洲和日本做巡演，这次还去了加拿大。他们和歌德堡的乐队LOK一起合作单曲"Staden Göteborg" (The City of Gothenburg)，并在歌德堡Popstad音乐节上进行了经典的表演。他们开曾经为ACDC做开场嘉宾，并专门到意大利给ACDC做开场嘉宾。

Hardcore Superstar



bum was recorded and released in Sweden. The album attracted the attention of English label Music for Nations and a new
worldwide contract was drawn up. The new album, which became the band's "official debut album" contains a few new songs, a new cover and has a new name, "Bad Sneakers and a Pina Colada". The album contains the hits "Someone Special", "Liberation" and "Have You Been Around" which all achieve top positions on the singles charts in Sweden. The band has made its breakthrough.

The video for "Liberation" was nominated for a Swedish Grammy and the band set off on their first tour of Europe and Japan. 2001 saw the release of the follow-up,"Thank You (For Letting Us Be Ourselves)" with singles "Shame" and "Mother's Love". Once again the band toured in Europe
and Japan and this time they also went to Canada. They hooked up with fellow Gothenburg band LOK on a single called "Staden Göteborg" (The City of Gothenburg) and performed a now classic show during the PopStad Göteborg
festival. In the summer they opened for AC/DC at a packed Ullevi Stadium. The band also opened for AC/DC and Motörhead on the Italian leg of their tour due to their popularity in the area.


In the summer of 2003 the first single "Honey Tongue" was released from their third album "No Regrets" which was released in August 2003. The song entered the Swedish charts at number three. The second single from the
album, "Still I'm Glad" also makes the higher reaches of the charts. In autumn 2003 and winter 2004 the band toured in Sweden, Europe and the USA. A fight broke out at the Swedish Consulate in New York between Thomas Silver
and Aftonbladet journalist Fredrik Virtanen. This is a major news story back in Sweden. Upon their return from the USA the band decided to take a break indefinitely after playing non-stop for over six years. This is interpreted
by some in the media that the band had split up, which was never on the cards. Back on Gain, the band regained its unique energy which was resulted
in the self titled album "Hardcore Superstar". The album was given top reviews all over the world. Hardcore Superstar was Grammy nominated and number one on the Swedish hard rock charts. The album contained the four hit
singles "We don't celebrate Sundays", "Wild boys", "My good reputation" and "Bag on your head". They were on all major national TV and radio shows in Sweden and toured around the world until the spring 2007. In the summer of
2007 they released the single "Bastards". The single sold gold and was on top on every chart in Sweden. At Sweden Rock Festival they opened up for the legendary Aerosmith. The new album "Dreamin´ in a casket" was released
around the world in November.
