Bacon Wagon

Bacon Wagon from Helsingborg/Gothenborg, Sweden

In 2003, upon the disbanding of seminal Swedish noise rock band Acid Ape, brothers Marcus and Kristoffer Kinberg started BACON WAGON. 2004 saw them record a self-released split 7” with fellow rockers Instrumen. After trying a bunch of guitarists, Marcus switched from drums to guitar/vocals, and in 2005, the band recorded and released a six-song EP, Savant, released on Maduro Records. Shortly after, Peter Johansson, who played drums in Instrumen, quit his band and joined BACON WAGON, which turned out to be the perfect lineup. In 2006, BACON WAGON hooked up with Baltimore noise rockers Dactyl for a split 7” on Hit-Dat Records and a US tour, and a couple of years later, the band was put on hiatus.

The brothers Kinberg continued onward in the new outfit Hooves Not Hands, and Johansson later started the punk band Slöa Knivar and death metal band Bastard Grave. Fast forward to 2023 when the BACON WAGON crew finally got their shit together and wrote a slew of new songs. The band now finally arrives with their first ever full-length album, Trauma Cake.
