Based in Stockholm, HAPPY TRASH CULTURE gradually formed over a few years, finally getting a sense of direction and their name in 2001. Paying homage to early 90's rock/punk bands like Sonic Youth and Mudhoney, HAPPY TRASH CULTURE play their own brand of grunge hard-core with a political undertone and Chris Isaak influences. Their debut release 'Comparing The Comfort' is music straight from the heart with just a 'little bit' of irony. They have played several Swedish festivals; been featured on national radio and played on TV NORD's 'Dromedar' programme. The thing about Happy Trash Culture is that they do not claim to sound different to every other band; they just believe other bands don't sound like HTC. Neither do other bands play bass guitars that once belonged to infamous Swedish cop-killers as David once did!
