Dundertåget, originally known as Thunder Express, was a Swedish rock band formed in 2004 by Robert Dahlqvist. They released four albums before disbanding in 2011.

History

The band was formed by Dahlqvist in 2004 as a side project to highlight his lead guitar and lead vocal skills, and for performing when his full-time band The Hellacopters were on break.[1] The band was originally named Thunder Express, after a song by MC5.[2] They were influenced by that band plus The Rolling Stones, Cheap Trick, The Faces, and ZZ Top.[3] The band also included guitarist Robert Pehrsson, bassist Jens Lagergren, and drummer Jesper Karlsson.[2]

Originally performing in English, Thunder Express released the albums We Play for Pleasure in 2004[4] and Republic Disgrace in 2007.[5] In 2008 they decided to switch to their native Swedish for titles and lyrics, and changed their name to Dundertåget (a rough translation of "Thunder Express").[1]

Under their new name they released the album Skaffa ny Frisyr in 2009,[6] which earned the band a Grammis nomination for Best Rock Act of the Year.[7] Their fourth overall album Dom Feta Åren är Förbi was released in 2010, featuring a guest appearance by singer Nina Ramsby.[8] Dundertåget disbanded in 2011, with Dahlqvist and Pehrsson moving to other projects associated with The Hellacopters. Dahlqvist also released some solo material shortly before his death in 2017.[9]
