History
Robert Dahlqvist started the band Thunder Express in 2004 as a side project during his time with the Hellacopters. Under that name, the band released two albums in English.[1] In 2008 they switched to Swedish lyrics and changed their name to Dundertåget (a rough Swedish translation of "Thunder Express"). Their first album under the new name was Skaffa ny Frisyr in 2009, featuring songwriting contributions from Stefan Sundström and a guest appearance by Sahara Hotnights vocalist Maria Andersson.[2] The album earned the band a Grammis nomination for "Best Rock Act of the Year". Their second album Dom Feta Åren är Förbi was released in 2010, with more songwriting contributions from Stefan Sundström and a guest appearance by singer Nina Ramsby.[3]
The group disbanded in 2011. Founding member Dahlqvist died on 3 February 2017.[4]
