Fireside is a Swedish, Grammis Award-winning rock band that formed in the Swedish hardcore scene in the early 1990s. After finding moderate success as a post-grunge/alternative metal band, yet tiring of playing half-filled venues,[1] Fireside adopted an emo/pop punk sound in 1998. In 2000, with the release of Elite, the band took a more experimental approach to rock, but 2003's All You Had saw the band shift toward garage rock. After a lengthy hiatus Fireside returned to playing live in 2016 and consequently a new album named Bin Juice was released in 2022. However, only singer/guitarist Kristofer Åström and guitarist/producer Pelle Gunnerfeldt appear on the record, joined by bassist and occasional vocalist Kate Breineder and several drummers.

The 1996 American Recordings reissue of their album Do Not Tailgate (originally released in 1995 by Startrec Management) featured cover art by Daniel Clowes.[2] The record store sales counter in the 2000 film High Fidelity displayed a Fireside sticker.[3]
