Renegade Five

**Renegade Five** is a Swedish hard rock band from Karlstad, formed in 2007 (with some sources suggesting earlier activity around 2005–2006). Bursting onto the scene with their debut album *Undergrounded Universe* in 2009, they quickly earned acclaim—including a Grammy nomination for "new rock" and a Swedish Rock Awards nomination—propelled by hit singles like "Running in Your Veins," which dominated Scandinavian rock radio. Current members include **Daniel Johansson** (vocals), **Per Lidén** (guitar), **Marcus Nowak** (drums), **Håkan Fredriksson** (keys/production), and **Jimmy Lundin** (bass), though earlier lineups featured different musicians. After collaborating with producer Roberto Laghi (*In Flames*, *Mustasch*), they released singles like "Everything About You" and "Sorry" (both 2018) ahead of newer work, maintaining their energetic rock sound.
