Biography

There is more than one artist named Sideburn:

1.) Sideburn is a classic rock/metal band from Lausanne, Switzerland. They are heavily influenced by bands such as AC/DC, ZZ Top, Rose Tattoo, and Krokus. They began recording under the name Genocide in 1989, and it wasn’t until 1997 when their style evolved in the direction of rock that they decided to rename the band to Sideburn.

2.) Sideburn is a heavy metal/stoner rock band formed in Sweden in 1997. In the beginning there was Morgan Zocek (guitar), and Tor Pentèn (drums) who met each other in a club in Stockholm. They shared the same musical vision and influences (bluesy hard rock) in bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow, The Cult, and Kyuss among others. In 1998 they placed an ad in some music stores in Stockholm for a new singer. And finally one day they got a call from Jani Kataja.

After over 6 years together, Sideburn parted ways with drummer Tor Pentèn. They started looking for a new drummer and Morgan approached Fredrik Broqvist, an old friend from school. Current lineup: Jani Kataja (lead vocals, guitar, bass), Morgan Zocek (lead guitar, vocals), Martin Karlsson (bass, organ, vocals), Fredrik Broqvist (drums, vocals).

    Sorry all, but that Sideburn band is from Switzerland. It's easy to mix the band from Sweden, quite confusing sometimes.

    quite good stoner stoner/hard rock from Sweden, with very nice sound and a little bit of Spiritual Beggars style, but generally it's boring... nothing special

    The albums labeled "trying to burn the sun" and "the newborn sun" are both by another band called Sideburn from Sweden.

    Fantastic Hard Rock band (for the Swiss band) ! It's a shame that they are mixed up with the Swedish (Stoner Rock). LASTFM should do something as it doesn't deserve any of the 2 bands. Also it's pretty surprising to have the song Boots for Hire on top of the charts, as it's definitely not one of their best .... Check out the songs from their album "Cherry Red", one of the best album of 2008 !
