Connect The Dots

EDITORIAL REVIEWS


19 HIGH PACED, RAW, AND ENERGETIC TRACKS SHOWCASING THE FINEST OF THE HARDCORE SCENE OF LINKÖPING, SWEDEN.
Swedish hardcore outfit First In Line celebrates 30 years with the album "Connect the Dots", featuring 19 raw, high-paced tracks showcasing the finest of the Linköping HC scene. First In Line has been flying the flag of fast, melodic hardcore since 1994, earlier under the name Prehistoric. On "Connect the Dots", the 4-piece distill decades of hardcore grit into pure, unrelenting energy. Recorded at South Sound studio, the album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Ulf Blomberg.

First In Line originally started out as Prehistoric in the spring of 1988 with Timor Tanriverdi on drums, Jörgen Sjöström on guitar, Stefan Angeltorp on vocals and Errol Tanriverdi on bass. After a couple of years Stefan quit and Henrik Hane started on vocals. In addition, Nikola Rasic joined as solo guitarist and so Prehistoric continued until 1993 when Nils Javefors took hold of the microphone. Prehistoric released a Split CD with Allena in 1993 and appeared on various compilation albums until 1994 when the band changed singer again, this time Niklas Gunrin and at the same time changed their name to First In Line. In 1998 Errol took over the vocals in connection with the release of the first single I Know (Bridge of compassion) and in 1999 the single Backside LKPG/F.I.L was released (Bridge of compassion).

In 2000 the band took a break that lasted until 2008 when it was time to grab the gear again. Patric Lind joined on bass and since then the band has played gigs around Sweden and released the records In the Land of Filth and Honey, .We are Watching, and Wake Up!

So what's the point? F.I.L is rooted in American hardcore, because that's what they grew up with and love, the raw, fast, no-frills, energy explosion. "F.I.L are so pissed off at all injustice and stupidity, we have to get it out of our heads and into the songs that we hope will hit right in the heart of you who listen, who can turn up the will to fight and maybe also be a tiny cog in a machinery that can change the world."
