Joakim Thåström, commonly known by his mononymous stage name Thåström, is a figure inextricably woven into the fabric of Scandinavian rock music. Emerging from the Swedish punk scene, Thåström gained prominence as the lead singer of the influential punk band Ebba Grön, which played a crucial role in the country's music movement during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Following the disbandment of Ebba Grön in 1982, he continued to shape the Scandinavian rock landscape with the band Imperiet throughout the 80s.

Embarking on a successful solo career in the early 1990s, Thåström has shown remarkable versatility, exploring a wide range of styles from punk to electronic music, to brooding rock ballads. With his signature deep and evocative voice, introspective lyricism, and distinctive stage presence, Thåström has crafted an enduring legacy. His discography is a testament to his evolution as an artist, with critically acclaimed recent works such as "Beväpna dig med vingar" and "Den morronen", and live performances that capture his intensity, like "Klockan 2 på natten, öppet fönster... (Live)". Fans have continued to embrace his enigmatic persona and his ability to traverse and often transcend genre boundaries, firmly establishing him as a cornerstone of Northern European rock.
