Sahara Hotnights

Sahara Hotnights is an all‑female rock band from Robertsfors, Sweden, known for their electrifying mix of garage rock, power pop, and punk. Formed in the early 1990s when the members were barely teenagers, the band first gained national attention after winning a battle of the bands competition in 1995. Their debut EP, Suits Anyone Fine (1997), quickly made them a live favorite across Sweden.

Their first full‑length album, C’mon, Let’s Pretend (1999), established their presence in the Scandinavian rock scene. They expanded their international reach with Jennie Bomb (2001/2002), a breakout record that brought them attention across Europe and the U.S.

In 2004, they released Kiss & Tell, a high‑energy, hook‑driven album featuring the standout track “Hot Night Crash,” which appeared in several video games and TV shows.

The band regrouped 2007 and independently released What If Leaving Is a Loving Thing on their own label, Stand By Your Band.

They followed this with their self‑titled album, Sahara Hotnights (2011), which showcased a more polished, melodic rock sound and marked the final release before the band went on hiatus.

After several years apart, the band reunited in 2019 and returned with their seventh studio album, Love in Times of Low Expectations (2022), a mature and reflective comeback that retained the energy and attitude of their earlier work.

New album "No One Ever Really Changes" is set to be released in Feb 2026.
