Hardcore Superstar is a Swedish hard rock band that formed in 1997 in Gothenburg, Sweden. They are widely recognized as one of the leaders of the "sleaze rock" scene of the 2000s, a subgenre that combines elements of glam metal with hard rock and punk. The band consists of Joakim "Jocke" Berg on vocals, Martin Sandvik on bass, Vic Zino on guitar, and drummer Magnus "Adde" Andreasson. Hardcore Superstar's sound is noted for its infectious hooks, raucous guitar riffs, and anthemic choruses, all delivered with an uncompromising attitude and high-energy performances.

Over the years, Hardcore Superstar has built an extensive discography and a devoted fan base around the globe. They stormed onto the music scene with their debut album "It's Only Rock'n'Roll" in 1998 and achieved international acclaim with the release of albums like "No Regrets" and "Thank You (For Letting Us Be Ourselves)" in the early 2000s. The band made a notable stylistic comeback with "Hardcore Superstar" in 2005, embracing a more polished sound that resonated with both fans and critics. Their recent releases such as "You Can't Kill My Rock 'n Roll" and "Abrakadabra" demonstrate their consistent ability to churn out high-voltage rock anthems, contributing to their reputation as stalwarts of the modern hard rock scene. With their relentless touring and musical output, Hardcore Superstar continues to prove their dedication to the genre and their fans.
