Release Notes:

Scandinavian skatepunk unit Millencolin formed in ╓rebro, Sweden, in late 1992
with its members coming together from other area punk bands. Inspired by the
Southern California hardcore sound of bands like Operation Ivy, the Descendents,
and NOFX, vocalist/bassist Nikola Sarcevic and guitarists Erik Ohlsson and
Mathias FΣrm formed the first incarnation of Millencolin (a variation on the
skateboarding maneuver dubbed melancholy) as a Swedish-language group, but later
began writing and singing in English. A ten-song demo, Goofy, was recorded in
early 1993 with FΣrm on drums, but as the band needed two guitarists for their
live show, he moved to guitar when permanent drummer Fredrik Larzon was soon
added to cement their lineup. That summer, the guys recorded another demo,
Melack, which was subsequently sent to local indie Burning Heart; the label
quickly expressed interest in working with the band.

Millencolin issued two six-song EPs, Use Your Nose and Skauch, before their
debut full-length appeared in August 1993 entitled Tiny Tunes. The album,
recorded in only two weeks, was a hit in their native Sweden (entering at number
four on the national charts), and extensive touring around Scandinavia followed
throughout the next year. After their second LP, Life on a Plate, appeared in
1995, Millencolin hit Europe for the first time alongside California's
Pennywise, and had signed with the American indie label Epitaph by the year's
end. Epitaph reissued the album for U.S. distribution in March 1996; their
sophomore effort, For Monkeys, followed in 1997, and a year later they returned
with Same Old Tunes. The latter album was actually a re-release of their earlier
record, Tiny Tunes; the songs were the same, but because the original album's
artwork was a play off of the artwork for the cartoon series Looney Tunes,
Burning Heart had been sued by Warner Bros. Consequently, the cover art was
changed and the album retitled. A homemade video, Millencolin and the Hi-8
Adventures, was released in 1999, along with the singles collection The
Melancholy Collection.

Millencolin's fourth LP, Pennybridge Pioneers (Pennybridge is ╓rebro translated
directly into English), appeared in early 2000. Produced by Brett Gurewitz in
Hollywood, it was their first album to be recorded outside their native Unisound
Studios. Numerous shows and festivals were next played throughout the U.S.,
Europe, and Australia, including the Punk-o-Rama and Warped tours. The No Cigar
EP was released in spring 2001. A summer tour was spent opening for the
Offspring before the guys headed back to Sweden to record their next
full-length. Home from Home was produced by Lou Giordano and released in early
2002. October marked Millencolin's tenth year together; they played a special
show in ╓rebro to celebrate, as well as started an annual skateboard contest at
their home park of BrΣdcentralen called the Millencolin Open. Sarcevic released
the mellow, introspective solo effort Lock-Sport-Krock in 2004 before
Millencolin issued their sixth album, Kingwood, in April 2005. Machine 15
followed three years later.
