Stoned


Biography : 
Stoned started in 1993 in Karlstad, Sweden as a five-piece band. At the beginning the band was Andreas, Magnus, Zenga (Henrik), Bosse and Böb. I don't know exactly who was Böb, but he played drums on the demotape that Stoned recorded in 1993. He was soon replaced by Henric and this lineup lasted until the end of the band. Stoned was one of the leading melodic punk / skatepunk act of Sweden. Very soon after their formation they were signed to Ampersand Records where they released their first MiniAlbum Partysongs in 1994 as well as all the rest of their discography. Even if they never got as big as Millencolin the band toured internationally several times and released four studio albums that today are classics of the skatepunk scene of Sweden. For a long time after their last release it wasn't too clear if Stoned was still alive. Some years ago some fans discovered that the band was in preparation of another album but their label Ampersand disbanded so the project died too.

  2. Leading act? Certainly not... More like insider tip. Still, I loved them very much. Especially their later records.
