Love Shop

Love Shop is a Danish pop rock band. The band was formed in 1986 by vocalist/songwriter Jens Unmack and guitarist/producer Hilmer Hassig, later joined by harmonicist Henrik Hall.[1] They found great success in Denmark with their debut album 1990, which went on to win the Danish Grammy for Pop Album of the Year,[2] and are well known for songs such as "En nat bliver det sommer", "Love Goes On Forever" and "Copenhagen Dreaming".[1] The 1997 album Go! is widely considered their magnum opus.[3]

In 2004, the band announced an indefinite hiatus after struggling with internal disputes.[4] Hilmer Hassig was killed in a traffic accident in 2008,[5] and after performing two tribute concerts in his honour, the remaining band members reunited,[4] releasing the critically acclaimed[2][4] comeback album Frelsens hær in 2010. Henrik Hall died from cancer in 2011,[6] and Unmack has since continued performing and releasing new material as the only official member of Love Shop.[1][4]
