Bio

Fredag den 13:e (translated: Friday 13:th) started out like most punk bands as an idea during a drunk night out in Gothenburg, Sweden, sometime in the beginning of 2006. The guitarists Stoffe (ex Penalty Time) and Jacob (High Hats/ex The Process/ex Sweet Addiction) had for a long time been talking about starting a band which would combine both the power of Scandicrust with the rock n’ roll feel of Poison Idea and Motörhead. Believe it or not, a rehearsal was actually booked a couple of weeks later. Stoffe had at that time been talking to Skägget (ex Kalashnikov Boys) and the drummer Johannes (ex Penatly Time). After several weeks of riffing in the rehearsal place the band found its singer in Anders (ex Age of Woe). A demo was recorded which after a while also resulted in a self titled seven inch – Fredag den 13:e (2007).

After some time Johannes decided to leave Gothenburg and the band discovered the furious drummer Niclas (Seeds in Barren Fields/High Hats/Sthlms Blodbad). With the new line-up a split seven inch (2008) was released together with HC-friends Dobermann Cult, and the recording started for the debut album “Under Iskalla Fanor” (2010). After the debut album was released Fredag den 13:e toured frequently in Europe and started to make a name for themselves within the punk scene. By 2012 they released another split seven inch with their Gothenburg punk rock friends in Trubbel, and by 2013 they released their second album “Tjugohundratretton”, that suitable means: 2013. At this point Skägget decided to leave band and Peter (ex The Dynamite/ex The Process/ex Sweet Addiction) was recruited for the bass.

With a new album ready in May 2015 Fredag den 13:e are ready for another round. Todays line-up have made an agreement to keep the band going until the bands thirteenth anniversary 2019. Until then the plan is to play live as much as possible and produce more vicous d-beat; fucked up with rock n’ roll riffage, smashing hardcore and brutal metal. The clock is ticking…
