Whale were a Swedish pop group active throughout the 1990s. The group’s members were Henrik Schyffert, Cia Soro (a.k.a. Cia Berg), and Gordon Cyrus. The band enjoyed much success, particularly in the European market. Their first single, 1993’s Hobo Humpin’ Slobo-Babe achieved critical acclaim and heavy spins in the Euro dance club scene.

Although they claimed to have formed back in 1987 (as the Southern Whale Cult), and that the band had released several albums back home (such as The 52nd State of America, In Style!, Whatever, etc. ) before signing a worldwide record deal in the mid-’90s. That is not true but what just some sort of joke. Henrik Schyffert was and still is one of Swedens biggest comedians. Their next album, We Care, failed to yield another hit like “Slobo Babe,” and after opening for Blur on a North American tour, Cyrus left the band to form his own hip-hop record company. After a lengthy hiatus, new members Jorgen Wall (drums), Jon Jefferson Klingberg (second guitar), and Heikki Kiviaho (bass) joined in time to record their follow-up, 1998’s All Disco Dance Must End in Broken Bones. Recorded in Chicago and London, the album was produced and engineered by two of today’s top alternative producers — Chris Potter (the Verve) and Brad Wood (Veruca Salt, Placebo). An extensive U.S. tour with Tricky followed soon after the album’s release.

when an original member leaves a band after a successful album, its usually a disaster, but their second album is alot better than the first. Pretty impressive

судя по альбому we care 95 года - весьма странная, но оригинальная команда, смешивающяя постпанк, гаражную альтернативу, трипхоп и буги!!!

Of all the bands we've lost over the years, I think I miss Whale the most. "We Care" is amazing, but "All Disco Dance Must End In Broken Bones" is pure, unadulterated genius. I mean, even the title is ridiculously brilliant. All the good ones go early. :(

I think I started loving music with We Care. Don't really find the words to express my gratitude to this band. So important and so underrated...
