Sweden, in late 1992 with its members coming together
from other area punk bands. Inspired by the Southern
California hardcore sound of bands like Operation Ivy,
the Descendants, and NOFX, vocalist/bassist Nikola
formed the first incarnation of Millencolin (a variation
on the skateboarding maneuver dubbed melancholy) as a
Swedish-language group, but later began writing and
singing in English. A ten-song demo, Goofy, was recorded
two guitarists for their live show, he moved to guitar
when permanent drummer Fredrik Larzon was soon added to
cement their lineup. That summer, the guys recorded
another demo, Melack, which was subsequently sent to
local indie Burning Heart; the label quickly expressed
interest in working with the band.
Millencolin issued two six-song EPs, Use Your Nose and
Skauch, before their debut full-length appeared in August
1993 entitled Tiny Tunes. The album, recorded in only two
weeks, was a hit in their native Sweden (entering at
number four on the national charts), and extensive
touring around Scandinavia followed throughout the next
year. After their second LP, Life on a Plate, appeared in
1995, Millencolin hit Europe for the first time alongside
California's Pennywise, and had signed with the American
indie label Epitaph by the year's end. Epitaph reissued
the album for U.S. distribution in March 1996; their
sophomore effort, For Monkeys, followed in 1997, and a
year later they returned with Same Old Tunes. The latter
album was actually a re-release of their earlier record,
Tiny Tunes; the songs were the same, but because the
original album's artwork was a play off of the artwork
for the cartoon series Looney Tunes, Burning Heart had
been sued by Warner Bros. Consequently, the cover art was
changed and the album retitled. A homemade video,
illencolin and the Hi-8 Adventures, was released in 1999,
along with the singles collection The Melancholy
Collection.
Millencolin's fourth LP, Pennybridge Pioneers
appeared in early 2000. Produced by Brett Gurewitz in
Hollywood, it was their first album to be recorded
outside their native Unisound Studios. Numerous shows and
festivals were next played throughout the U.S., Europe,
and Australia, including the Punk-o-Rama and Warped
tours. The No Cigar EP was released in spring 2001. A
summer tour was spent opening for the Offspring before
the guys headed back to Sweden to record their next
full-length. Home from Home was produced by Lou Giordano
and released in early 2002. October marked Millencolin's
to celebrate, as well as started an annual skateboard
Millencolin Open. Sarcevic released the mellow,
introspective solo effort Lock-Sport-Krock in 2004 before
Millencolin issued their sixth album, Kingwood, in April
2005.
