The month is November, 2000 AD. In a rehearsal studio, in a small town in Sweden, Joakim Nybom, Joni Malkki and Bjorn Nilsson are sitting and waiting for the fourth member of their punk band, The Solbrillers. He never arrives, and in their boredom, they plug Joni's toy synth into a guitar amp. A brilliant idea that signalled the start for one of Sweden's most hyped and innovative bands. The guys liked the sound that poured out from the amp so much, they completed their first song that day: K K K K K Come On.

That Slagsmalsklubben, also known as SMK, were born through mistake and a punk singer's absence is just one of those true stories that's hard to believe. Hannes Stenstrom later joined the group, bringing real synthesizers with him. After a fight at the Emmaboda festival, Joakim promised some guy called Frej Larsson he could rap on an SMK song. Finally, they picked up Kim Nilsson in Malmo, "the city of crime". The pieces had fallen into place and the line-up was complete.

Within a few years of their first release, they'd already managed to burn as many bridges as they'd managed to build. They were unanimously hated by Swedish entertainment journalists. In response, Bjorn shouted to a crowded festival audience the epic words: "YOU HAVE NEVER BELIEVED IN US! SO NOW, AS REVENGE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE IN YOU!".

The band felt stuck in Sweden. So they packed away their toys and synths and headed out to Germany. The work they did had quick results, and suddenly they had influential friends across every little town in Europe. Pete Tong invited them to play on his tennis court in Ibiza, Erland Oye invited them to play on his island in Norway, and a Russian millionaire offered them a week in Moscow. The fact that they had to flee from Moscow, leaving a bill of 20,000 Euro behind them, is a story best left off this biography.

Back home in Sweden, 2007, they released their third album Boss For Leader. It became the third best selling album in Sweden that month. Suddenly everyone wanted a piece of SMK. The guys sent a CD to Annie Mac on Radio 1, and their song became her 'weird secret song'. When it emerged that they were responsible for the track record labels all over the world started to fight over who would be releasing the song, entitled Brutal Weapons. With they reasoning: 'they have a good-looking staff and a good reputation', the band chose the French record label, Kitsune.

Being back in Sweden also gave the band a chance to reconnect with their fans. Through all those years of back and forth, the fans stayed loyal. Now, more faithful than ever, they spend their time painting flags and writing blog-posts in their very own club room at the band's big mansion in Stockholm.

Eleven years after that fateful day when The Solbrillers singer didn't show at band rehearsal, there's not a lot that the band haven't done. They've played every little town and every festival in Sweden, and taken their sound all over Europe, wooing audiences at international festivals such as Fusion and Melt.

After a few years of silence, everybody was wondering what happened to SMK. With every member working with other successful music projects, a lot of people thought their time as a band was over. But after an epic concert in the summer of 2011, at the Emmaboda festival, there was no doubt that they were back and as big as ever. Seeing SMK live is an experience that gets people talking. The Swedish magazine, GAFFA, wrote about their Hultsfred appearance: "For the first time during the festival, you can feel how the ground is vibrating!"

With their fourth, upcoming album, 'The Garage' you will notice how far they have come. With a more mature, dangerous and raw sound, Slagsmalsklubben is ready to take over the world. In the same way Tyler Durden did in the bestselling novel "Fight Club". Because if you translate "Fight Club" to Swedish, Slagsmalsklubben is what you get.
