About Agent Side Grinder
Agent Side Grinder was formed in Bromma, Stockholm, in 2005. Their debut and sophomore albums, “Agent Side Grinder” (2008) and “Irish Recording Tape” (2009), are deeply entrenched in post-punk, industrial, and dark electro, while their 2012 release, “Hardware”, marked a shift to a richer and more layered sound.The album also featured collaborations with Swedish artists Skriet and Henric de la Cour.
2015 saw the release of “Alkimia” featuring a guest appearance Nicole Sabouné. The band underwent significant changes in 2017 when members Kristoffer Grip, Henrik Sunbring, and Thobias Eidevald departed. Johan Lange and Peter Fristedt, along with new vocalist Emanuel Åström, then made a strong return in 2019 with “A/X”.
