Scandinavian singer Nikola Sarcevic is best known for his play as the pencil lead singer of Millencolin, a Swedish punk/alternative rock stripe that commanded a loyal following in Europe and the United States in the '90s and 2000s. Sarcevic's many age with Millencolin have earned the Swede a repute for being a gaudy, forceful, brash, and very extrospective type of creative person; however, a a great deal more self-examining and sensitive face of Sarcevic emerged after he launched a solo life history in the early 2000s. As Millencolin's frontman, Sarcevic has been influenced by the amplified, in-your-face aggression of bands ranging from the Clash to NOFX and the Descendants, merely as a solo creative person, Sarcevic has preferred more of a singer/songwriter esthetic. Concentrating on folk-rock and adult alternative, Sarcevic the solo artist has invited comparisons to John Mayer, Ben Folds Five, Counting Crows, and the Gin Blossoms kind of than Cock Sparrer, the Circle Jerks, or Sham 69.


Sarcevic (wHO has played electric bass with Millencolin and guitar on some of his solo recordings) started to make a nominate for himself in Nordic rock circles in the late '80s, when he co-founded Millencolin's original three-man lineup with guitarists Erik Ohlsson and Mathias Färm in Örebro, Sweden; Millencolin officially became a quartet when Fredrik Larzon was chartered as the band's full-time drummer in 1993. At first, Millencolin was a Swedish-language group, only after a few geezerhood, Sarcevic and his colleagues began writing in English. In Sweden, some artists write in Swedish entirely and condense on the Scandinavian securities industry; many others, however, prefer to broaden their invoke by playacting by and large or alone in English -- and by making the transition to English lyrics, Millencolin was next the lead of unnumberable Swedish performers wHO had ranged from satanic death metal, black alloy, and grindcore bands to ABBA-obsessed bubblegum Europopsters to Ella Fitzgerald-influenced jazz vocalists. By the time Millencolin's first album, Living on a Plate, was released in Sweden on Burning Heart Records in 1995, they had acquired an enthusiastic next in the Nordic countries -- and after they gestural with the Los Angeles-based Epitaph label, the Swedes became increasingly popular in the United States. By the spring of 2001, Epitaph had distributed basketball team Millencolin albums in North America.


Around 2003, Sarcevic made a decisiveness: he would launch a solo career on the side spell chronic to swear out as Millencolin's leading singer/frontman -- a game plan that Epitaph was plainly comfortable with. The world-weary Lock-Sport-Krock, Sarcevic's first solo sweat, was released on Burning Heart/Epitaph in July 2004 -- and practically to the surprise of his longtime fans, the record album was a amount departure from anything he had through with with Millencolin. No one expected Sarcevic, of all citizenry, to branch proscribed into folk-rock and adult alternative territory and come up with such an introspective, musing CD. Nonetheless, Sarcevic continued to perform live with Millencolin, and a sixth album with that band, Kingwood, was released on Burning Heart/Epitaph in April 2005. His soph solo sweat, Roll Roll and Flee, was issued the next year in Europe via Burning Heart; a North American liberation was delayed when Epitaph chose non to pick the disk up.
