Crompojkarna was formed by Anders Olsson and Mats Hammerman, from early Swedish punk/postpunk band @vacum . When Vacum imploded in in the most keyboard-infested part of the 80-ies, they wanted to get back to their punk and hard rock roots and in retrospect it was possibly not the coolest thing to do at the time. But they struggled on and did have a great time and wrote a good song every now and then. Some of them ended up on the five singles and one album that the band did. But the bands big strength was their live act that took them to the largest festivals at the time and about 100 gigs all over Sweden and even some abroad. After a gig at Gatufesten i Sundsvall in 1993 the band disbanded but have resurected several times. In 2013 they reformed, did some gigs and recorded some unreleased material for the double CD collection - 1985-1992. In 2019 they reformed, wrote a new track and played on Massproduktion 40 year party. In 2022 the drummer - Lars Forslund - sadly passed away. In 2023 they reformed and played at local rockclub Pipelines 50 year celebration.
