SWEDISH ROCK N ROLL PIONEERS CELEBRATES 45 YEARS WITH A ROWDY RELEASE! The story about The Boppers started out as a fairytale about some teenagers from Stockholm who was on the right place on the wrong time. Forming the band in 1977 when punk-rock exploded around the world their take on 50’s doo wop and rock n roll couldn’t be more out of style but they refused to fit in and turned it in to a success.
After their debut “Number One”, containing mostly covers of their 50’s favorites, wich sold over 450 000 copies in Sweden!!
There was no doubt about it. The Boppers was the next big thing! Their unique talent of singing harmonies and play rock n roll with the same swagger and beat as their predecessors made them an amazing live act with 300 gigs per year.
The success kept them on top into the early 80´s and took them around Scandinavia, the rest of Europe and Japan.
Even in the mid 80’s the band stuck to their art and kept touring, but they had a short break before coming back with new hit singles in the early 90’s that once again put them on top of the list.
Since then, they’ve become an institution in Swedish rock n roll history with their albums selling worldwide.
Always true to their roots they’ve kept on digging where they stand. On tour:
