The story about The Boppers is fairytale about some teenagers from Stockholm who was in the right place in the wrong time.
Forming the band in 1977 when punkrock exploded around the world their take on 50’s doo wop and rock n roll couldn’t be more out of style but they refused to fit in and turned it in to a huge success.
After their debut “No:1”, containing mostly covers of their 50’s favorites from the likes of Roy Orbison, Dion & Belmonts etc sold over 450 000 copies in Sweden, there was no doubt it. The Boppers was the next big thing!
Their unique talent of singing harmonies and play rock n roll with the same swagger and beat as their predecessors made them an amazing live act with over 300 gigs per year.
The success kept them on top into the early eighties and albums like “Keep on bopping” and “Fan pix” secured their star and took them to England, Italy, Germany, Japan etc.
In the mid 80’s The Boppers had some low key years before coming back with new hit singles in the early 90’s that once again put them on top of the list, and since then they’ve become an institution in Swedish Doo Wop & Rock'n Roll style.
Always true to their roots they’ve kept on digging where they stand.
In 2022 The Boppers celebrated 45 years as a band with a brand new album.
On “White Lightning” they kinda find themselves back at the start again and they keep carrying the torch of original roots with pride and it shines as bright as ever.
