Fireside was a 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 The band's official website is no longer active; the band's last public performance was in Sweden in 2017.[2][circular reference]
The 1996 American Recordings reissue of their album Do Not Tailgate (originally released in 1995 by Startrec Management) featured cover art by Daniel Clowes.[3] The record store sales counter in the 2000 film High Fidelity displayed a Fireside sticker.[4]
