Sahara Hotnights

UMPG represent Sahara Hotnights for the albums 'Jennie Bomb', 'Kiss & Tell', 'What If Love Is a Loving Thing' and 'Sahara Hotnights'.

Sahara Hotnights is an all-female rock band from Robertsfors, Sweden. Their style incorporates elements of garage rock, power pop and punk. Their debut EP, Suits Anyone Fine, was released in 1997 to immediate success and critical acclaim in Europe. Soon afterwards, the band signed with the Swedish label Speech Records, and over the next two years released three further singles, 'Face Wet', 'Oh Darling!', and 'Nothing Yet'.

In 1999 Sahara Hotnights released their debut full-length studio album C'mon Let's Pretend, which earned two Grammis nominations.
The Drive Dead Slow EP appeared in April 2000, released on the BMG label, before the band's second album Jennie Bomb was released in 2001 (2002 in America). The timing of its release coincided with a surge in interest in Swedish rock'n'roll bands, such as The Hives, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Mando Diao and Hellacopters. The songs 'On Top Of Your World' and 'With Or Without Control' were released as singles. 'Alright Alright (Here's My Fist Where's The Fight?)' was featured in Cheaper by the Dozen, Stormbreaker, New York Minute and on the Jackass: The Movie soundtrack.

Sahara Hotnights opened for The Hives before releasing Kiss & Tell in 2004 through RCA.  'Hot Night Crash' and 'Who Do You Dance For' are singles taken from the album. 'Hot Night Crash' also appears on the soundtrack of Burnout 3: Takedown and of Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam. The song 'No Big Deal' is played in CKY4.

A new single entitled 'Cheek to Cheek' culled from their fourth studio album What If Leaving Is a Loving Thing on Stand By Your Band Records. The album was released on 18 April 2007.

Sahara Hotnights' sound has been described as a mix between Blondie, The Ramones, and Nirvana. Although their latest work has a more pop sound to it, Sahara Hotnights have always been influenced by classic rock and punk bands.

The band's fifth full-length album, Sparks, a covers collection, was released in 2009. In 2011, the band released their sixth album, eponymously titled Sahara Hotnights.
