Artist Biography
Available in:

The Nomads are a Swedish garage punk band founded in 1981 by Hans Östlund, Nick Vahlberg, Joakim Tärnström and Ed Johnson. Today, Östlund and Vahlberg are the only members left of the original line-up.
They are not to be confused with the American group, 'The Nomads' (aka Los Nomadas) formed at California's Whittier High School in 1953 by Bill Aken (Zane Ashton) and Chico Vasquez. This group stayed together for more than 30 years, recording for various record labels and backing up Latino recording artists until Chico's death in 1995.
The band plays music influenced by the MC5, The Stooges, Roky Erikson, The Cramps, The Ramones, New York Dolls and other early garage rock and punk bands. The Nomads have been an influential band in the Scandinavian garage rock and punk scenes, inspiring bands such as The Hives, Hellacopters, Gluecifer, and many others.
