The band was formed in 2002 in Stockholm by Martin Nordvall and Mathias Näslund, two childhood friends. Their style is characterized by an original combination of the guitar, drums, catchy melodies and the sounds accompanying playing, for instance clasping and shouting. They are inspired by their own heartbreaks and by the music of other bands such as AC/DC, ABBA, The Stokes or Arcade Fire. They claim that their objective is to create songs which make people feel good.
