Ånge, Sweden (1999 – present)

Takida, a five piece rock band from Ånge, Sweden, started out in 1999 and they have worked hard to get where they are today. They have been touring all around Sweden and built quite a reputation as a solid live rockband. Their fanbase is growing as we speak. Their first demo Old was only produced in 500 copies and sold out immediately, Old was recorded in year 2000. It was followed up by the EP T2 (2000), the full length album Takida (2001), the ep Gohei (2003) and the ep Thorns (2004). These 4 EP’s and one album has sold over astonishing 10,000 copies together, much thanks to many successful gigs that lead to an increased popularity.

Takida were also included on the rock collection Played Out Vol. 1 (2000) with the tracks It’s a sin and Jaded and on Played Out Vol. 2 (2002) with the tracks One Of A Kind and Evil Eye

They were picked up by the local indie rock label Ninetone Records in 2005 and the first single Losing from the album …Make You Breathe was released in January and peaked at second place on the Swedish singles chart and was the most played song on swedens largest alternative rock radio channel, Bandit rock. The album …Make You Breathe was released on the fifth of April 2006 and peaked at nr. 7 on the album charts and one nr. 1 on the hard rock charts.
