about
The Nifters was formed in 99 by singer Mats Larsson and guitarist Johan Söderhielm. The early years was spent playing fast an chaotic punkrock. One full length album and three vinyl 7” later the name was changed to simply Nifters. That was the end of the punkrock days.

In January 2004 drummer Tommy Storback left the band and was replaced by the producer Jocke Göthberg. With him behind the drumkit, a brand new bassplayer, Jocke Samuelsson and a second Guitarist named Zwedda, Nifters were a complete fivepiece.

Allein was a great step forward for the band and resulted in fine reviews all over the world and also many support shows for bigger bands like Backyard Babies, Hardcore superstar, Mustasch and many more.
