The Cardigans are a Swedish bad, active from 1992 until 2006, then again since 2012. The band is made up of Lars-Olof Johansson, Bengt Lagerberg, Nina Persson, Magnus Sveningsson, and Peter Svensson. The group was formed by Peter and Magnus who brought in the others. They recorded a demo which led to them getting signed, with the debut album coming out, first in Japan and Sweden in 1994, and internationally in 1997. They released their second album in 1995 internationally, followed by their third in 1996. They took a bit of a hiatus in 1998 while the members did solo projects, and their songs were used in pop culture and a compilation album was released. They came back together is 2002 to do a new album, releasing it in 2003, featuring a new sound. They released an iTunes album and another regular album in 2005. In 2006 they went back on hiatus, an extended one which is why I split it at the beginning, and they group went back to doing their solo projects. They got an offer to come back in 2012, and though Peter didn't want to participate, he gave the others his blessing to do it without him, so they invited Oskar Humlebo to take Peter's spot. Since then they've spent most of that time touring so they're still around, and who knows what we'll see later on.

Peace.
